SuzChews is a gum specially formulated to combat dysgeusia — the chemotherapy-induced taste distortion that affects a majority of cancer patients during treatment. Inspired directly by my parents' experience undergoing cancer treatment, this project combines my background in cancer research with my passion for human-centered innovation.
Key highlights
Addresses dysgeusia, a widespread and underserved side effect of chemotherapy
Ingredient list finalized based on cancer research and taste science
