People say “necessity is the mother of invention” and this Mexican
teen, Ríos Cantú proves this phrase right. After almost losing his mom
to breast cancer, he decided to invent something that can detect the
disease in the early stage. This teen told media that he was
13-years-old when his mother was diagnosed with the breast cancer and as
the diagnosis came too late his mom lost both of her breasts and almost
her life.
Let’s look at the bra designed by this teen that can detect the breast cancer. This invention will save many lives in future.
Ríos Cantú is currently the CEO and co-founder of Higia Technologies, a company he established with three close friends.
His auto detection bra is named as Eva. This device already won the top prize at the Global Students Entrepreneur award. Her mother was diagnosed with the breast cancer when he was
12. “The tumor went from having the dimensions of a grain of rice to
that of a golf ball in less than six months,” he said.
This bra uses tactile sensors to map the surface of the breast and monitor texture, color and temperature. The invention is designed particularly for women who have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer. Women who are going to use this bra can use a mobile or desktop app to monitor their condition.
If there is a tumor in the breast, it means there are more
blood and more heat, so there will be a change in temperature and in
texture. And when there is a persistent change, the device will
recommend going to the doctor. This invention inspired this teen to try and help women all over the world to detect the breast cancer in its early stages. Breast cancer treatment is much easier when detected early and this bra is surely a revolutionary invention When Ríos was asked, “why a bra?” He said, “It allows to keep
the breasts in the same position and it doesn’t have to be used more
than one hour every week.” This invention is only a prototype, it will take at least two years before it can be certified for use. In a report, American Cancer Society estimates that
approximately 82,000 women will die because of breast cancer during this
period in the US alone. viaSource:Instagram, YouTube
After seeing this report all we can say is that this teen’s idea is
definitely revolutionary and we hope it gets certified soon before it
can be available for use.
