 “Smart Bra” to Help Detect Breast Cancer

Soon, a bra, universally used to providesupport and comfort to the breasts, might offer health benefits, for scientistsat the University of Bolton are developing a bra that can detect if the personwearing it is suffering from early-stage breast cancer.

Experts working on the "smart" brasay that it will be able to spot cancer before a tumor can develop and spread.

Professor Elias Siores, inventor of the bra,who works in the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University ofBolton, also claims that the undergarment will be able to assess theeffectiveness of any breast cancer treatment its wearer is undergoing.

"It could emit two warnings, audible orvisual or both. If the warning persists, you would see a specialist,” Discovery News quoted Siores, as saying.

The smart bra works by using a microwaveantennae system, which can easily be woven into fabric. The antennae pick upany abnormal temperature changes in the breast tissue, which are linked tobreast cancer cells.

Conducting polymers (导电高分子) in the fabric would transmit the signals to a small computer chipthat would filter the information. Specialized software would assess theinformation and sound an alarm if conditions indicated the likely presence ofcancerous cells.

Siores said that an efficient way to use thebra would be to wear it while plugged into a power supply for a few minutesduring diagnosis.

"This is a truly innovative idea to usesome pretty advanced electronics for the detection of breast cancer," saidBrian McCarthy, director of TechniTex Faraday, Manchester, U.K..
