Smart Bra Detects Tumors by Body Heat

Jul-01-14 The cancer-detecting bra from First Warning Systems monitors body heat to help identify tumors at the early stages—allowing for prompt treatment and a higher survival rate.

Developed to work as a supplement to conventional screening methods, the Circadian Biometric Recorder (CBRTM) bra insert is equipped with sensors that monitor heat patterns in breast tissue over a 2 to 12 hour period. This data is then transmitted to a computer, which analyzes the patterns to determine if any early tumors are beginning to form. The system has been undergoing development for some time, and was first reported as the BSE (breast self exam) bra in late 2012.

While conventional screenings are still more accurate, the CBRTM has been successfully tested, particularly in patients under the age for typical mammography screening or in patients with dense breast tissue—both of which challenge traditional ultrasounds techniques.
