According to Fusion, scientists in Colombia have developed a bra that can help detect breast cancer. How you ask?
Well, it will be equipped with infra-red sensors that will track the temperature of your breasts, and if abnormalities pop up, a warning signal is delivered to encourage you to see a doctor.
Maria Camila Cortes, an engineering student at Colombia’s National University who has been working on the bra explained the reasoning for the sensors to Fusion. She said, “When you have cells in your mammary glands that are anomalous, the body needs to send more blood to that specific part of the body, and the temperature of this organ increases.” Increased temperature equals a possible sign of a problem.
