Jessica is a Toronto-based Industrial Designer and Co-Founder of Eve Medical, a start-up dedicated to designing innovative, user-centered medical products aimed at the specific healthcare needs of women. My interest is in realizing solutions that bridge the gap between medical technology and patient experience, and my current focus is on increasing STI screening rates among women.
In 2009, 25-year-old industrial designer Jessica Ching received a letter from her doctor asking her to get a Pap smear. Though she was reluctant — the test is notoriously uncomfortable — the Toronto native got one.
