After Judit Giró Benet's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, she wanted to find the biological code for detecting cancer. That’s when she started working on the Blue Box, which she hopes will help women around the world. 

"I believed this device is something that the world needed. I refused to stop until the world told me otherwise," she told TechNewsWorld.
