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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: BRA CONNECT device (a smart bra that measures skin temperature)
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.
