Jack managed to win the gift was at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair of 2012 as part of the Society for Science & the Public, in America.
By using the medium of paper-based test for diabetes, he managed to create a simple immersion sensor for blood or urine test to determine whether patients suffering from early-stage pancreatic cancer.
The results of the study has an accuracy of more than 90 percent and indicates that the sensor will immediately patented his creation which is 28 times faster, 28 times less expensive and more than 100 times more sensitive than the tests that have been there today.
