Kylie Simonds fought against cancer and won, so she's made a device to make life a little easier for those suffering from the disease.

Three years ago, the 11-year old Connecticut native suffered from rhabdomyosarcoma, a connective tissue cancer.

Remembering her struggles while walking around with intravenous (IV) poles, the little girl decided to invent a cancer backpack.

What she invented was a colorful and portable IV machine for kids who go through chemotherapy and transfusions.

Simonds said she remembered that chemotherapy left  her weak, so someone always had to help her push her IV pole. Her invention, on the other hand, is lighter and more convenient to carry around.

Although her idea reminds her of her own struggles, the inspirations for the device are the friends she met during her hospital treatments -- Marik and Brook.

Simonds narrated that her friend Marik has a prosthetic leg and crutches, so he always needs help with his IV pole.

Brooke, on the other hand, sometimes had to bring her IV pole with her at home or walk with it during her hospital stays. Having an IV backpack would help alleviate the inconvenience of dragging the IV pole around.

The backpack has already won several awards at the Connecticut Invention Convention, including a Patent Award.

The patent award streamlines the patenting of the design because the idea is sent directly to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Dr. Birte Wistinghausen, clinical director of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Mount Sinai Hospital, believes the devise is a gift to patients.

"The stigma would fall away from seeing an IV pole [and] it would be very useful for pediatric oncology patients in providing them much more mobility and freedom," he shared.

Simonds, now cancer-free for two years, is currently raising money so she can create a working prototype of the device.
