Our student among the winners of the 13th edition of the Brave Camp

Kamila Zacharewicz, a nursing student from the Faculty of Health Sciences MUW, took 3rd place in the finals of the 13th BraveCamp Entrepreneurship Academy. The jury appreciated her PrimiCare - an original design for securing incontinence diapers to prevent unconscious removal by patients with dementia diseases.

The final gala, combined with the presentation of the best student business ideas, was held in Warsaw at the cinema-theater hall in the Warsaw University Library. Among the 12 projects presented, two were authored by our students - in addition to PrimiCare by Kamila Zacharewicz, also the TreeGo! by Martyna Najmrocka, who is studying medicine.

- The idea for the project of securing incontinence diapers came from my daily nursing practice, during which I often encounter the problem of removing them, especially in people with dementia. I wanted to find a solution that would ensure the comfort and safety of the patient, and at the same time facilitate the work of the medical staff - explains Kamila Zacharewicz, the 3rd place winner, and she adds: - I believe that medical students should develop their innovative ideas. This is a chance to make a real impact on improving healthcare standards.
