Third-year PhD students Laura Braun<\/a> and Kai Riemer are currently recovering from one of the most pivotal weeks in their careers so far.<\/p>\n

On 19 March, the duo from Imperial College London\u2019s Faculty of Engineering pitched their global health project, Capta, at the Institute of Global Health Innovation\u2019s annual Student Challenges Competition (SCC)<\/a>. Their idea, a microscope smartphone attachment for detecting parasitic worm infections, impressed the judges and earned them first prize of \u00a35,000 towards developing their project. Just two days later, they were also awarded \u00a310,000 at Imperial\u2019s flagship entrepreneurial competition, the Venture Catalyst Challenge (VCC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like worms, they\u2019re fascinating!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Behind Capta is an important global health issue. Parasitic worms are responsible for soil-transmitted helminth infections and diseases such as schistosomiasis<\/a>. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, more than 200 million people are infected worldwide by schistosomiasis, which can cause malnutrition and long-term health problems like organ damage. The lack of attention to these diseases in public health inspired Laura and Kai to make them their focus. \u201cThey\u2019re diseases that are neglected, they\u2019ve lacked a lot of funding and research in the past decades. I also really like worms, they\u2019re fascinating!\u201d said Laura.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, Laura and Kai only established their idea one year ago. The project came about after meeting for the first time through the Imperial-Tokyo Tech Global Fellows Programme<\/a>, where they were tasked with creating an idea to tackle an aspect of poverty. Crafting the bare bones of Capta, they realised their project had the potential to make a real impact. \u201cAs I had a background in diseases and Kai had a background in imaging, the idea developed from there,\u201d Laura told us.<\/p>\n

Although Capta has only been in existence for a year, Laura and Kai have moved quickly to progress their device. \u201cWe developed our first prototype in late summer 2018, and then started testing it at the Natural History Museum where we gathered data,\u201d explains Laura. This helped the duo to refine their product, experimenting with different microscopes.<\/p>\n

What they came up with is a smart, low-cost tool to accurately and rapidly diagnose parasitic worm infections. Compared to current labour-intensive testing, their handheld microscope uses machine learning and automatic imaging to analyse samples. The device also records data to provide real-time statistics on global disease burden. Capta hope that their tool will allow for faster diagnosis of these infections, and help target treatment to areas that need it the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of unpolished things behind the curtains\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While Laura and Kai\u2019s PhDs armed them with the necessary scientific knowledge for their project, turning it into a viable business venture was where they needed help. That\u2019s where the Imperial Enterprise Lab<\/a> stepped in. \u201cThey helped us to pick this one idea out of the few we had developed and made sure we talked to lots of people and got customer feedback,\u201d said Laura.<\/p>\n

Of course, giving a project like Capta the time it needs to come to life can be tricky while finishing a PhD! \u201cWe\u2019ve managed it just by doing it in our free time, and it\u2019s still related to both of our PhDs so that really helps,\u201d said Laura. And while Capta has made tremendous progress in a short space of time, Kai is refreshingly honest about how aspiring entrepreneurs can expect a few bumps on their journey: \u201cNot everything is as shiny as it seems\u2026We failed at our first pitch. Don\u2019t get caught up with all the cool newspaper headlines because they don\u2019t tell the whole story. There are a lot of unpolished things behind the curtains.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo has learnt a lot about developing a business venture along the way. Kai\u2019s advice to budding student entrepreneurs is to seek expert opinion from outside of your immediate circle: \u201cAdvice from somebody supporting you who is not part of the team is really helpful. Because they will show you new things, but also the obvious that you tend to forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking towards the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now that Capta has gained some crucial funding, what\u2019s next for them?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money will go towards a trial that we plan to do this summer,\u201d Kai tells us. \u201cIt will either be in Ethiopia or Uganda. We will also use the money to refine the product before and after the trial, for the website, and organisational stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vision for Capta is now long-term, but this wasn\u2019t always the case. Laura and Kai\u2019s goal posts have changed vastly throughout their journey. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have the highest expectations, we never thought we\u2019d take home any prizes!\u201d said Kai. But winning IGHI\u2019s Student Challenges Competition and the Social Impact track at the VCC has given Laura and Kai the confidence to set an end goal for their device: \u201cWe want to see our product in a local clinic,\u201d said Laura. \u201cWe think it will be a year or more until we get to that stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura and Kai have clearly come a long way in a short space of time. What started as a project for an event has now gone on to become a viable business idea that addresses a pressing global health challenge. Anticipating a week of stress and nerves before the competitions, their hard work has ultimately paid off, Laura adds: \u201cIt started off being horrible, and it\u2019s gone on to be amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
