A Nigerian Lady Has Invented A Smart Bra To Detect Breast Cancer
Â
Truetells Nigeria gathered that this smart bra will enable a major boost against breast cancer with a new and first-of-its-kind invention by a Nigerian woman, Bolarinwa Kemisola.
Â
Kemisola is a robotics and embedded systems engineer who successfully invented a smart bra that is capable of detecting breast cancer in its early stage.
Â
The talented lady told BBC News Pidgin that she was inspired to come up with such an innovation after losing her aunt to breast cancer in 2017.
Â
And in 2021, she was able to do a test-run on a prototype of the smart bra. And the bra has small sensors coupled with its nanotechnology that doesn’t cause harm to the body tissues.
She explained that it is not an undergarment that replaces the normal bra or is worn throughout the day.
According to her, it is to be worn during the breast cancer check which doesn’t last more than 5 minutes.
