Early Warning Scan
A painless form of breast cancer screening
Industry: Medical Tech
The Early Warning Scan leverages 3D scanning and hyperspectral photography to detect visible and palpable signs of breast cancer. By applying artificial intelligence, it analyzes these images to identify potential patterns related to the disease. This innovative technology offers an advanced, non-invasive method for early detection, potentially uncovering irregularities before they become noticeable through traditional methods.
Client and Goals
The Early Warning Scan is a new screening method for breast cancer being developed to detect irregularities in the breast at an early stage, before they can be seen or felt. This approach aims to reduce the stress and uncertainty of self-examination, providing a reliable way to monitor health through regular, semi-annual checks. It is designed to offer lifelong monitoring and early detection, ensuring that potential issues are flagged well before they become serious.
Challenges
One key hurdle was training the AI to accurately detect subtle patterns indicative of breast cancer from complex 3D scans and hyperspectral photography. Ensuring high-quality, noise-free data for analysis was crucial. Additionally, gaining user trust in this innovative, non-invasive technology posed a challenge, as people may be hesitant to adopt a new method for early detection without established credibility.
Bestronics’s Role
The Early Warning Scan combines 3D scanning and hyperspectral photography to detect visible and palpable signs of breast cancer. By using artificial intelligence, it analyzes the data to identify patterns that could indicate potential breast cancer.
