Bra that detects cancer?
A Mexican teenager has invented a new bra that could help women detect early signs of breast cancer. The "Eva" bra– which resembles a sports bra– would only have to be worn for an hour to 90 minutes a week, and carries sensors that map the breasts' surface, color, and texture. Increased blood flow to the skin that brings about changes in temperature can sometimes indicate the presence of cancerous tumors. By tracking and logging the data (analyzed by a neural network) in an app, the Eva bra can notify wearers of any changes that may mean a future trip to the doctor. Though the bra is still a prototype, if Eva is successfully tested and approved, it could make detecting breast cancer easier.
