NCT ID NCT05294016

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests a smart bra that measures skin temperature to find breast abnormalities, including cancer. About 70 women with or without breast cancer will wear the device to see how well it detects tumors. If it works, it could offer a simple, portable screening option.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive, portable tool for earlier breast cancer detection, potentially improving screening access.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is still experimental and may not be accurate enough for widespread use.
