- Title
What Happened to the Cancer-Detecting Bra?
- Authors
Savage, Liz
- Abstract
The article reports that Hugh Simpson, a senior research fellow at Glasgow University in Scotland, is continuing his development of a heat-sensing bra that could detect early signs of breast cancer in premenopausal women. Simpson's bra, called Chronobra measures the deep temperature of a woman's breasts with a series of built-in heat sensors. Simpson hypothesizes that the pattern of temperature change is different in women with breast cancer or those at high risk for breast cancer.
