The idea came to the girl after she was givenDiagnosis: cervical cancer. She associated the onset of the disease with the human papillomavirus, as well as the fact that she was taking oral contraceptives. Because of them, the likelihood of developing this type of cancer increases significantly.
Therefore, Weiss decided to create her own alternative method of contraception: she came up with a new method of contraception for men and wrote her master's work in industrial design on it.
COSO offers a convenient method of contraception,which is easy to use without any physical intervention, pain or any known side effects. But without reliable data, the project cannot be implemented.
Rebecca Weiss, creator of the device
For her invention, Weiss has already received the German Dyson Prize in the amount of almost $ 3,700. Now the girl is preparing her device for clinical trials.
While COSO has only been tested on animals, the results have shown positive effects.
