'Necessity is the mother of invention' is a timeless adage that speaks to the ability of humans to be innovative in the face of challenges. As history shows, some of the groundbreaking inventions were borne out of adversity, often serving as a catalyst for creativity, inspiring inventors to life-saving feats of ingenuity, and the story of Amanda Aniagyei, a student of the Ashesi University in Ghana, is no exception. According to details on her story shared by her school page on Facebook, her father experienced a scare concerning his heart as he hadn't been seeing his doctor for a while. In response, she quickly recognised the urgent need for a solution that would give persons experiencing health challenges, like her father, more control over their health. The details, as shared on August 13, 2024, added that she decided to develop a smartwatch that empowers users by offering personalized information on their health.
