\"\"According to the most recent BBC news, an inventory app to check for breast cancer at home has become a reality in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

This tool or device was made to encourage the practise of self-checks. The user is allowed to create a personalized map of their torso by giving details about their breast size and shape. The application comes with a handheld device that can be pressed over the user\u2019s chest. Once a month, the soundwaves from the device record the tissue composition and alert the user if a doctor’s appointment is needed. The changes are constantly tracked by the app.<\/p>\n

The technology is very similar to mammograms or ultrasound scans that are used to detect a lump. However, the app is not a substitute for doctor\u2019s appointments or annual screening procedures, nor for diagnostic purposes. The app won the prestigious UK James Dyson Award, recognising the design.<\/p>\n

\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc1e: These tools are still in the early stages of development and must pass regulatory device checks to ensure their utility.<\/p>\n
