TECH & INNOVATION - Twin Sisters Create Digital X-Ray Glasses To Help Patients Have Quicker Hospital Visits

Loading player...
GUEST – Matlhogonolo and Masego Mphahlele

Twin sisters Matlhogonolo and Masego Mphahlele have made history after their innovative Digital X-Ray Glasses ranked in the top three at an international technological event. In 2019, during their matric year, twin sisters Matlhogonolo and Masego Mphahlele had an ah-ha moment. Their teammate was injured during a soccer game and urgently needed medical attention. At the top of the procedure list was an emergency "X-ray" to help doctors determine the depth of the sporting injury. Despite the long wait at the local hospital, the twins stood by their friend. As the adage says: "Necessity is the mother of invention." This rang true for the twins who, following the experience, wanted to find a quicker solution to traditional X-rays. They set out on a journey to potentially help many other patients waiting in hospitals and overcrowded clinics.
