It is a discreet device, designed to be incorporated into the bra, which uses electrical currents to detect the growth of tumors, potentially transforming breast health monitoring.
This innovative device can be attached to conventional bras or models specially designed by the research team, making it a valuable and comfortable tool for women.
In addition to monitoring the development of tumor tissue, the device collects important data that can be sent directly to the user’s smartphone. This functionality simplifies communication between patients and healthcare professionals, allowing for more effective and personalized monitoring of the disease.
Currently, the diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer is predominantly carried out through clinical and imaging exams, requiring frequent visits to the hospital.
The introduction of this device on the market could radically change this scenario, offering patients an option for continuous and non-invasive monitoring, directly in their homes.
The device’s operating mechanism is based on the difference in density between healthy and cancerous tissue, with tumors having greater density and less water.
The electrical currents emitted by the device map these differences in real time, offering an accurate indication of the state of the breast tissue.
