A student created a bra capable of detecting breast cancer

Julian Rios Cantu is just 18 years old, but that hasn't stopped him from making headlines in all English-language media since the start of the week. Originally from Mexico, this high school student like no other has indeed developed a bra capable of detecting breast cancer.

Julian did not start working on this device by accident. The student’s mother was struck by the illness herself, and it cost her both breasts.

A Mexican student created a bra capable of detecting the presence of tumors.

Struck by the extreme violence of this terrible disease, our high school student began to work in the greatest secrecy on his bra.

Julian was confronted with the disease through his mother

Breast cancer affects thousands of women each year. Relatively common, the disease can be easily treated if the diagnosis is made quickly. In this context, women are recommended to carry out regular mammograms, but also to perform monthly self-exams.

The latter in fact make it possible to detect the presence of an abnormal modification at the level of the chest, such as balls, skin wrinkles or even a discharge from the nipple.

However, few women do these exams and this is precisely what prompted our student to work on this surprising device.

Sensors capable of detecting tumors

EVA, that's his name, looks like any bra, but it also has two hundred sensors capable of mapping the surface of the chest. Coupled with extremely sensitive sensors, it is therefore able to map the chest of its carrier and monitoring all changes in temperature, size or even weight.

As a bonus, thanks to its temperature sensor, the device can also detect abnormal blood circulation and thus determine if a tumor is hidden inside the breast.

Julian presented his invention at the Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) a little earlier in the month and the latter met with great success with those present on site. It is not even nothing to say since our student received a bonus of $ 20,000 in order to be able to continue his research and market his product.
