…Can detest breast cancer
Technology keeps on moving
From smart glasses to haptic gloves, wearable’ technology has gone leaps and bounds in recent HB years.
Now, researchers in Nigeria have developed a smart bra, which they say, can detect breast cancer early.
According to a report published, yesterday, by Daily Mail UK Online, the prototype contains small ultrasound sensors that scan the breasts and reveals the location of any tumour.
The team hopes the device could improve breast cancer diagnosis in Sub Saharan Africa, where women currently undergo long screening.
Breast cancer is the most common disease in the region, with 129,000 new cases diagnosed in 2020, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
