One day, I noticed that my high school friend refused to wear his hearing aid because the sound produced by his device was just too overwhelming. This is how the idea of making something that could adapt to noise levels came to my mind.
One of our co - founders, James, noticed that there were no university projects combining the healthcare and digital world and he wanted to make something that could act as a “bridge” between computer science, engineering and medicine.
With that in mind, we decided to collaborate and create something unique but we needed more people with entrepreneurial mindset to contribute to the project.
Luckily, Sheffield is full of great talents, and we quickly found our other co-founders.
Unified by the idea of making the future accessible, our team launched
Project Echo - AI-powered hearing aid!
