Deaf Inventor Wins UK Dyson Award | Leicester News

A deaf 23-year-old grad student just won the UK James Dyson Award for her life-changing invention, SIVO.GO — an AI-powered sensory alarm that detects critical sounds like fire alarms and doorbells without Wi-Fi, alerting users through lights, symbols, and vibrations. Inspired by her own struggles in hotels and the risks of missing alerts when removing hearing aids, she’s turning personal experience into real-world safety. Judges praised her empathetic design, and with a £5,000 prize, she’s now scaling up to bring this innovation to market — proving how student ingenuity, when rooted in lived experience, can transform lives.
