A talented young girl named Naya Ellis from New Orleans in the US has used her creativity by crafting a device to detect early signs of stroke.

Per educational news outlet The 74, Naya’s creation, WingItt, is a wristwatch equipped with sensors that measure heartbeat and nerve impulses, enabling it to pick up on subtle stroke indicators in adults.

The 14-year-old's journey towards inventing WingItt began with participating in STEM NOLA, which offers hands-on STEM programmes for K-12 students, said Because Of Them We Can.

Initially inspired by the concept of creating a watch to detect seizures, Naya shifted her focus after witnessing her grandmother’s struggle with a stroke. Recognising a shortage of affordable and accessible stroke-detection devices, she focused on developing WingItt, a device suited to the needs of stroke-prone populations, notably elderly persons.

Naya, who hopes to inspire other aspiring scientists, particularly students from underrepresented communities, was amplified along with fellow innovator Jayden Hall by STEM NOLA on Instagram, where many complimented her.

Ghanaian boy builds car that moves from scraps

In a previous story, YEN.com.gh recalls reporting that Ghanaian teenager Obed Obeng Danso of the Community Development and Vocational Technical Institute (CONVOTECH) in Tarkwa in the Western Region built his first car.

The 18-year-old’s vehicle runs on fuel with almost no challenge as it moves without impediments on the road. Danso shared that he’d always dreamt of building a car, and through determination, he finally made it a reality.

Despite his little resources, Danso’s resilience led him to buy scrap parts of a discarded three-wheeled vehicle, known in Ghanaian parlance as “Aboboyaa,” to finish his work.
