A Mexican teenager, Julián Ríos Cantú, has invented a bra that could provide an early warning for women developing breast cancer.
The technology uses biosensors to measure temperature and alert the wearer to any worrying changes. The bra has 200 biosensors that monitor the temperature, shape and weight of a woman’s breasts.
Women would need to wear the Eva bra for just 60 to 90 minutes and it would measure temperature and alert the wearer to worrying changes. This information is logged in an app which will let women know if there are worrying changes.
The ‘auto exploration bra’ is only at the prototype stage. He began work on the bra when his mum was diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer and almost lost her battle due to a late diagnose of a fast-growing tumour.
The bra is still at the prototype stage.
