Chris and Edmund are co-founders of VAS MedTech, GQ Gamechangers of the year 2023, winners of the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation 2023, and are developing FlexiGyn with the goal of transforming gynaecology by moving uterine health checks from specialist operating theatres to local clinics, maximising patient comfort and reducing costs by 70%, and wait times from 10 months to 2 weeks.
FlexiGyn transforms gynaecology by solving the global shortage in gynaecologists – Our approach is simple yet revolutionary: We make advanced gynaecological care convenient to every woman, anywhere, without the daunting wait or pain of traditional methods.
