Cisco Feature Story
Tech wearable transforms the fight against breast cancer

Tech wearable transforms the fight against breast cancer
Rob Royea, CEO of Cyrcadia Health Asia, helped develop an IoT wearable to detect breast cancer. He shares his thoughts on transforming the healthcare industry with technology and his role in DETECTED.
About 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. One businessman is betting technology can drastically bring down those numbers. Rob Royea has 20 plus years of experience in clinical based diagnosis for conditions including cancer under his belt. He knew it was time to change the focus from breast cancer diagnosis to early detection. His weapon- an extraordinary wearable called the iTBra, which can detect cancer at its earliest possible stages. The story, is the focus of a powerful new documentary short called Detected. Cisco funded the film, which just debuted at the Boston Independent Film Festival in April, and will screen at Ahrya Fine Arts by Laemmle in Beverly Hills on June 5th.
I talked to Royea about the technology, and his journey to get the bra to market.
Sophia Lin: What is the iTBra? How does it work?
Rob Royea: The iTBra is a wearable device that is worn under a woman's garments that can detect the earliest signs of invasive cancer. Sensors that sit on the body under a women's own garment can sense metabolic change over time through thermodynamic assessment. The data collected by the sensors are then transmitted to a core lab where we use artificial intelligence or predictive analytics in the cloud to determine the results. The results are then sent back to the patients or to the physician and the insurance company. Patients can easily read the results that basically tell them "you're fine" or "call your doctor."
SL: What led you to the iTBra?
RR: The concept of the iTBra was well originated before I was involved. The board of directors of the company was looking for a CEO who could determine how to develop a scalable the technology that wasn't yet scalable and while ensuring accuracy of screening for the mass population. What I really saw in the technology, was the ability to get it out to the mass population but more importantly be able to get early in the diagnosis. When it comes to screening and monitoring, the ability to find cancers earlier is all about saving lives.
SL: How will the iTBra affect breast cancer awareness?
RR: Women really want to know about their breast health. It's not about a cancer alarm but self-awareness. Women want know they are actually leading a healthy life. The reassurance and the calm that comes to them is what we're looking to supply through the iTBra. It's changing from a monthly screening that you're suggested to do, to now actually having a smart technology that can reassure you that your breast health is fine. We want to provide encouragement of getting screened through a social context. It'll encourage sisters, families and friends to screen.
SL: Can you give us an update on what stage the bra is in now?
RR: We've gone through a US clinical trial where we've been able to drop the wear time from 48 hours to two hours and increase the accuracy from 74.5% to over 80%. At the end of this year, we plan on releasing a commercial product in Asia that will allow people to pair the iTBra with a smart phone app for results. In the US, we have an FDA Class 2 clearance and working toward a FDA Class 1 clearance which would enable over the counter product delivery.
SL: How do you think IoT wearables will transform the healthcare industry?
RR: It's a radical shift in time of diagnosis. It goes from being hospital or clinic based to population health. We now have the ability to monitor women as they go about their daily activities, rather than waiting from 8-10 years for a tumor to finally be visible on a mammography or ultrasound. It's going to be a radical shift in the paradigm of location and timing of diagnosis.

SL: What was it like having a camera crew following you around for the filming of Detected?
RR: It was crazy! There were cameras all around all the time. What was great, was that women would walk up and tell you exactly what they felt. They wanted to talk about breast health. We got a great deal of input from women as to how we should deliver the product and what it should do for women in the process.
SL: What was your favorite part of filming?
RR: Being able to tell the story for the first time about a fitness device migrating to a wellness technology. We're looking at something that's a sustainable healthcare product that someone could wear beyond breast cancer. There's the possibility that someone will monitor themselves in the future almost as second nature.
SL: What is the one you thing you want people to take away after watching the documentary?
RR: Technology is evolving to the point that we can wear sensors and to know more about our ongoing health condition. More importantly, welcome health monitoring through intelligent technologies. Having a sensor on you doesn't mean that you're monitoring for bad habits, monitoring can save your life! Think about the future of healthcare wearables and understand why it's important for better outcomes and better family time.

From smart sports bras to glucose monitoring devices, see how new technology is innovating healthcare this National Women's Health Week.
Whether with apps, gadgets, or anything in between, technology has made incredible advances with helping the human body. As we celebrate this month's National Women's Health Week, let's take a look at some of the latest technology helping women maintain their health and wellness.
Digital Trends reports the latest in Apple Watch rumors, writing that the Apple Watch 3 may include sensors that can monitor blood glucose levels. With diabetes research being a big area of interest for the company, Apple may be revolutionizing glucose monitoring for the millions of people suffering from diabetes.
Exercise and lifestyle company Adidas recently launched their All Day fitness app for women. Gadgets and Wearables writes that this app offers meal plans, workouts customized for the user, sleep aids, and mindfulness regimen. This app also lets users in on fitness advice from experts, as well as curating personal music playlists for workouts. Unique in its mix of content within the app, All Day is available for users on both iOS and Android.
Women who run can now benefit from gadget-less cardio time with OMsignal's new smart sports bra. Sports Illustrated reports that the "OMbra" is outfitted with both heart and breathing sensors so that women don't have to be bogged down by extra technology.
The documentary Detected explores a similar style of bra technology—a smart IT Bra that can help detect breast cancer. The innovative piece of Internet of Things technology is highlighted in the new film, which Cisco and Ironbound Films partnered to bring to life. You can catch a screening of this documentary June 5, 2017 in Beverly Hills, California. To RSVP, please check here.

With Early Cancer Detection, IoT Saves More than Money—It Can Save Lives
Maciej Kranz
This week at the Internet of Things World Forum, we’ve been hearing a lot about the transformational value of the Internet of Things (IoT) across many industries – manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, smart cities, retail, and finance. So many new solutions are on display that help organizations either save or make money. But in healthcare, IoT can actually do more than that, it has the potential to save lives.
You may be thinking, “Of course—wearables, remote monitoring, performance tracking. These concepts have been around for a while now.” And yes, these technologies and devices are already working to improve health and fitness. One recent development, however, has really captured my attention because of its potential to help with early detection of breast cancer. That’s the idea behind the connected bra—dubbed the” iTBra” by its inventor, Rob Royea, CEO of Cyrcadia Health. With embedded temperature sensors, this new kind of wearable technology tracks changes in temperature in breast tissue over time. It uses machine learning and predictive analytics to identify and classify abnormal patterns that could indicate early stage breast cancer. And women will be glad to know that they just need to wear the iTBra for 2 to 12 hours once a month as they go about their daily activities—there’s no painful squashing or prodding or radiation involved.
The iTBra fits comfortably under virtually any normal bra and can transmit results to a smartphone.
This technology marks a vast improvement over traditional mammography, which generally doesn’t detect the presence of cancer until it is in Stage 3 or 4. It is also much more accurate than mammography, which produces a high number of both false-positive and false-negative results. Currently, more than 70 percent of biopsies that are done as a result of a suspicious mammogram turn out to be non-cancerous tissue. And in women with dense breast tissue, mammograms miss the presence of cancer more than 50 percent of the time. Because the iTBra relies on different detection technology, its false negative rate has so far been 17.3 percent for all tissue types—an improvement for all women, but especially for those with dense tissue.
Connected bra technology is many times more accurate than mammography in detecting the presence of cancer.
“Detected” is a new short documentary film sponsored by Cisco that shows the development of the iTBra, from the seed of an idea to its acceptance for clinical trials. The power of this documentary is not only about the ground-breaking idea itself, but also about the innovation process. I have been a keen observer and practitioner of innovation and co-innovation for years, and therefore I appreciate how the film realistically depicts the entrepreneurial struggle—a great idea, some false starts, some wrong turns. We also see Rob Royea’s grit and determination as he doggedly persists through obstacles, builds a coalition of the willing across the globe, and spreads his enthusiasm and passion about the project to people around him.
Rob Royea, right, discusses circuitry design with a development partner in Israel.
The connected bra idea is already so powerful by itself; but this is just a start. As Rob Royea says in the film, “What if you can screen three million people in Asia in a single year? What if you can create this mega database through the Internet, that can analyze how some people, versus others, have cancer?“
This is where IoT, in combination with the cloud, machine learning, and analytics capabilities, can truly become transformative. Mammograms—and the radiology expertise needed to interpret their results—are still out of reach for billions of women, especially in poor countries. Now, with inexpensive, non-invasive technology, you can now screen millions of women who have never had access to screening before. And in the process you can gather massive amounts of anonymized data that can help us research and hopefully better understand what factors contribute to a woman getting breast cancer in the first place. In a world where more than half-a-million women die from breast cancer each year, such connected IoT solutions can not only help cancer detection, but also cancer prevention.
The connected bra is just one of the reasons IoT in healthcare is especially exciting to me. Combined with rapid advances in areas ranging from bio- and DNA engineering, to robotics, prosthetics, and remote care, IoT is poised to dramatically improve many aspects of our lives—enhancing not only how long, but also how well we live. This is why I believe it is so important to rally behind entrepreneurs such as Rob Royea. We should support the efforts of current innovators and create incentives and programs for new ventures in the IoT healthcare field. Because in healthcare, the stakes are not just about efficiency or productivity; they’re about our lives.
