A father used his childhood experience to create a great device that analyzes the vital signs of children with cancer. Discover this incredible invention.
Cancer is a disease that causes the death of large numbers of people year following year. This disease can appear at any age.
As it is an invasive pathology, it is essential to constantly monitor the condition of patients. This monitoring makes it possible to propose the most appropriate treatment.
This is what this father understood when he accompanied his son suffering from cancer. He sought to make a contribution to facilitate this accompaniment. In this article, we share all the details of his story.

When the baby was diagnosed with cancer
Joel de Oliveira Junior, a 50-year-old engineer, became alarmed at his son’s condition when he began noticing that he frequently had a high fever. Because of the recurrence, he had immediately said to himself that it was not just a simple virus.
His concern increased when one day he touched his son’s stomach and realized that his stomach was harder than usual. He then immediately went to a specialist to establish the diagnosis.
After carrying out a large number of detailed examinations, the pediatrician concluded that the little boy had a neuroblastoma located above the kidney. In other words, it was the most common childhood cancer following leukemia.
The news was therefore very hard for the whole family. Everyone knew it was a very serious disease. Moreover, they did not know at what stage the cancer was.
The chemotherapy sessions started very quickly. However, despite all efforts, the boy closed his eyes forever in 2013 when he was just 2 years old.
A father’s invention to help children with cancer
Despite the immense pain felt by Joël, he tried to help the other little ones who are battling the same disease. He relied on his experience to provide a solution.
During the illness, this father realized that it is very difficult to monitor the vital signs of children with cancer. And this because it is a process that must be carried out several times a day and which generates a lot of wear and tear.
However, it is essential to know when to act in time. Checking vital signs helps detect any complications that need to be treated urgently.
So he teamed up with a technician named Luckie Tech and, 6 years following his son left, the two managed to create a device that monitors the vital signs of children with cancer.
To use this device, it suffices to adapt the invention to the level of the armpit of the little ones. The built-in mechanisms are responsible for sending the values to a digital platform that doctors and parents have access to.
Specialists can thus detect warning signs in time and provide much more agile care. It is also possible to prevent the situation from getting worse and children having to stay in intensive care.

The current panorama of invention
The first version created is able to determine the temperature of patients and the exact location where they are. This, in order that doctors can locate them whenever necessary. In addition, it is suitable for use by children of all ages.
However, the device is not yet available to the general public. It must first go through a clinical study which must be carried out on 100 children and 100 adults. Likewise, he must receive a certification.
Only then can experts confirm that the device has no irregularities and deserves to be in hospitals to help the community.
The creators are certain that everything will be fine and that it is an invention that will allow children with cancer to have better care. They also said they would continue to work on the device being able to measure oxygenation and heart rate as well.
