from the BBC According to the news, world-renowned scientist Dr. Canan Dağdeviren, together with her team at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Lab, made a breakthrough in the diagnosis of breast cancer. made The team that developed a wearable ultrasound scanning device after extensive workWith this device to be inserted into the bra, women aim to scan easily and frequently, thus detecting possible cancer cases early. It is said that the device that has been worked on for 6 years human experiments have been done and has also received patents to make the device a reality in the US.

“The electronic bra project is a project we have been working on for about 6.5 years. As a team, we produce with electronic devices compatible with the body at MIT Media Lab. This latest project is a device for early detection of breast cancer, which is closely related to women. We have now finished the first prototype, done the human experiments and also got the patent last week. At the next stage, we do not want this technology to remain only in the laboratory. At the same time, we want it to come true and be used by hundreds, thousands, millions of women. According to our calculations (by the way, a very modest calculation can go even bigger), it is a project that can change the lives of 11 million women a year.” All other details and explanations about the project Here is located.
