Wearables also detect breast cancer

Some companies are developing wearable devices equipped with functions not found in conventional activity meters (Reference Material 4). For example, a wearable device that detects breast cancer is under development.

Breast cancer is a serious illness for women, with 1.7 million new cases occurring each year worldwide. Doctors recommend regular mammography examinations, but tumors may not be found well early on. Therefore, Cyrcadia Health of the United States has started an attempt to perform early detection using the breast cancer detection device iTBra (Fig. 2). It wears one small wearable device on each side of the brassiere to detect small changes in the tissue. If this is attached, it can be measured for 24 hours, which enables early detection.

Wearable device to detect breast cancer
The wearable device monitors changes in metabolic fever in a 24-hour cycle that correlates with the activation of tumor cells by breast cancer. The measurement data is sent to PCs and mobile devices to share information with doctors. This new technology is said to be effective in detecting cancers with high mammary gland density, which is equivalent to 40% of women. The number of biopsy tests can be reduced because each person can detect it early.

The advantage of this device is that it is non-invasive—that is, it can be inspected without damaging the human body. However, the accuracy is not 100%. However, it can be detected earlier if it is used as a screening for breast cancer and if in doubt it is confirmed by mammography.
