Dasia Taylor is an inspiring young inventor who gained recognition for her innovative approach to addressing a critical health issue. At just 16, she developed a groundbreaking idea: a color-changing bandage that can indicate infection in wounds. This invention not only showcases her creativity and problem-solving skills but also highlights her passion for helping others.
Dasia’s journey began when she noticed the challenges faced by patients in monitoring their wounds. Traditional bandages often fail to provide clear indications of healing or infection, leading to delays in treatment. With a drive to make a difference, she began experimenting with materials that could change color in response to certain bacteria, ultimately resulting in a bandage that turns blue when an infection is present.
