The Tarragona Provincial Council has awarded a grant of €5,256.35 to the La Nineta dels Ulls Foundation to support the development of a mobile application aimed at the early detection of retinoblastoma, a type of eye cancer that mainly affects young children.
Thanks to this institutional support, the Foundation has been able to implement the initial prototype of the mobile application and acquire a dedicated mobile device to carry out technical testing and validation. This first step is essential to move forward towards a robust, accessible digital tool aligned with public health criteria.
Early detection of retinoblastoma is crucial, as a timely diagnosis can save vision, the eye and, in many cases, the child’s life, while also allowing for less aggressive treatments and improving the quality of life of both patients and their families. Digital tools that facilitate early identification can make a decisive difference in the management of this disease.
This project represents a significant step towards the Foundation’s goal of providing a free and accessible tool, designed to help identify early warning signs of retinoblastoma and strengthen prevention through a technological and socially committed approach.
The La Nineta dels Ulls Foundation would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Tarragona Provincial Council for trusting in its work and for supporting initiatives that contribute to improving children’s health and well-being.
