Release date: 2017-05-12
Julian Rios Cantu is an 18-year-old boy. When he was 13 years old, Julian's mother suffered from breast cancer. In just six months, the tumor grew from the size of the rice to the size of the golf ball. Although the mother survived after the operation, she lost helplessly. Double breasts.

Seeing the painful process of her mother being tortured by breast cancer, Julian wants to invent a wearable device to pre-monitor breast cancer. And he put the direction of research and development on the bra.
"If there is a tumor in a woman's breast, the temperature and texture of the breast will change near the tumor," Julian said.
The bra that goes with the breasts is the first line of defense to detect these changes.
Using this idea, Julian began to transform the bra. It stuffed about 200 biosensors into the bra, allowing the bra to detect changes in breast temperature and texture for long-term tracking.

“In addition, he has developed an application that can be linked to a bra via a smartphone, store breast detection data, and continuously track areas with lumps to help women get medical treatment early.
After the prototype was finished, Julian took the bra to the entrepreneurial competition and sought attention and guidance from the industry.
He did not expect that in this year's Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, he stood out from 56 contestants from 56 countries and won the championship.

The 18-year-old boy also set up a company to design and develop this smart bra.
Experts estimate that this bra is about two years away from the market. But many in the industry are optimistic about its prospects. Ms. Anna Perman of the British Cancer Center said that she was very happy to see that young people have such scientific ideas.
We hope that this love invention will come out soon, helping women to find breast abnormalities as early as possible and avoid the harm caused by diseases.
