This SBIR Phase I project, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to develop a novel 3-leafed gynecological speculum design. The $305,000 award to Yona Care LLC will be used to advance the engineering and prototyping of this speculum, which seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy, care processes, and patient outcomes by reducing pressure on sensitive tissues and enhancing the provider's field of view. The project includes evaluating the speculum's opening angle and shape, integrating lighting and locking elements, and optimizing the silicone sheathing material. This innovation targets an annual $462 million market for gynecological speculums, addressing common issues of patient pain, discomfort, and anxiety that can deter care adherence.
