Scientists are developing a wearable device that could revolutionise breast cancer monitoring. The device fits discreetly inside a bra, potentially detecting tumour growth in real-time.
Researchers hope this device will offer a convenient method of detecting tumour growth that patients can use "in the comfort of their own homes."
Nottingham Trent University's Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF) is developing this bra-integrated device, which will use electrical currents to detect minute changes in tissue fluids surrounding and within breast cells, potentially indicating tumour growth.
