Palpa's inspiration
Palpa was born from Jovita's story. She felt an anomaly in her breast and decided to ignore it. Years later, she was diagnosed with grade IV breast cancer. This story would not be the same if Jovita had been informed and aware of the importance of self-care and the benefits of early detection. In this context, Palpa was designed, a device with an educational purpose to raise awareness and empower women to take care of their bodies from a young age, to bring self-examination closer to their routines and, above all, to take away the fear of palpation.
Our mission is to educate and train breast self-examination, so that all women are able to know and distinguish changes in their bodies, and thus promote the early detection of breast cancer.
Our vision goes far beyond a product, it is to achieve a cultural change.
