First Warning Systems has beenawarded a number of U.S. patents for its breast surface
temperature technology that would continuously monitor a woman’s breasts when
embedded within a bra. The minute variations in temperature the bra’s sensors
pick up is due to the growth of blood vessels that develop in the breast to
supply cancerous tissue with blood. The company says these blood vessels create
a distinctive heat signature that allows the tumor to be detected years before
the tumor becomes visible in a traditional mammogram or even an MRI.

The company says trials have shown the bra offers a far greater level of
accuracy than is possible with traditional mammograms, with an accuracy rate of over 90 percent returned in three clinical trials involving 650 participants of all ages.

The bra also offers continuous non-invasive monitoring with data from
the sensors transferred to a wireless module built into the device that sends information to a computer or mobile device for uploading to the internet for analysis.
