An aunt’s death led Kemisola Bolarinwa to develop a wearable device that can pick up Nigeria’s most common cancer much earlier
It was a school competition to build a radio that set Kemisola Bolarinwa on her path to becoming the inventor of a bra that can detect cancer. “My physics teacher brought the idea of coming up with a radio transmitter and a receiver. I started working on it with one of my classmates,” she says.
“We went for the competition, and we came second out of the many competitors from other schools. That was when I discovered myself to be an innovator – that was how the passion started.”
