Safe sex just got smarter
Three English teenagers have invented the first smart condom.
Created by Daanyaali Ali, 14, Muaz Nawaz, 13, and Chirag Shah, 14, from Isaac Newton Academy in Essex, the condom changes colour when it comes into contact with sexually transmitted infections.
Presented at UK science competition Teen Tech, the condom has a build-in indicator made from molecules that attach to various viruses. Called the ’S.T.Eye’, it’s then able to turn a different colour depending on the kind of bacteria detected, including syphilis and chlamydia.
While it may not be in the market anytime soon, the inventors wanted to pave the way for their generation. “We created the S.T.Eye as a new way for STI detection to help the future of the next generation,” Daanyall said. “We wanted to make something that make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive procedures at the doctors.”
For their invention, the teens won over $2000 and a trip to Buckingham Palace to meet other inventors - and hopefully they'll here from some condom companies soon.
