Throat Scope

“Throat Scope was invented after a trip to the doctors with my 15 month old baby. He seemed to be suffering from a sore throat.

The doctor got out his wooden tongue depressor and flash light. The doctor asked me to hold my baby around the forehand and arms while he tried to open his mouth with the wooden tongue depressor.

I realized an affordable Intraoral light did not exist, so I researched and built the first prototype in my garage. It cost $2.50. This prototype formed the basics of my first patent based on light refraction and transparent plastic.
This solution provided an affordable alternative to fibre optics.”

Ear Scope

“Ear Scope was invented after numerous trips to the doctor with my child who had grommets. My child seemed to be suffering from a sore ear, and after four separate doctor appointments and no answers, we ended up at the ENT.

The ENT looked thoroughly inside my child’s ear and spotted the grommet which had fallen out into his ear canal. The grommet had formed into a growth inside his ear and it had to be removed.

My son was admitted to hospital, where a short operation was performed to remove the growth and grommet.

It was at that moment that I realized the doctors only had one stream of light coming out of the existing otoscopes. I started to dream about incorporating transparent plastic into a specula to provide complete illumination inside the ear.”

TelScope Telehealth System

“TelScope Telehealth System was born after I was taking my child, who suffered continuously from tonsillitis, to the doctor.

This is already a task on its own when I have to call and try to get an appointment, round up my four children into the car, make sure they don’t touch anything in the clinic, and worry about if we are coming home with more germs than we came into the clinic with.

After coming home from the appointment, I thought, ‘there has to be an easier way to connect a sore throat or sore tooth to a doctor or dentist from the comfort of my own home!’

In development, we set out to create superior illumination, retraction, and depression while incorporating a smart device. We realized smart devices had the best cameras, so we developed a device to be used for stand alone examination or easily transform into a digital health tool when needed.”

TelScope App

“TelScope App was created to work together with the TelScope device.
The TelScope app provides superior intraoral and intra-aural images for telehealth diagnosis. The app is also being developed to produce an AI function for oral health assessment.”

Early Years

Jennifer was born deaf; she has two siblings and a loving mother. Jennifer was driven by her fierce determination to work out the world in a simple form; her lack of speech and hearing led her to create and innovate on many levels before she became a worldwide inventor in the orifice illumination and medical software space.

Jennifer had a difficult time at school, moved out of home at 16, worked full time, studied part time, started her first business at 19, purchased her first house at 19 and went on to live all over the world. At 27, Jennifer settled in Australia with her husband and four children, and during this time she invented her first medical device, Throat Scope.
