This project introduces the Breast Cancer Early Detection Device (BCEDD), a wearable device synchronized with an online platform designed for remote monitoring of breast health among younger women. According to a study by Memon et al. (2015), “respondents aged 18-25 years revealed that while a majority, 74%, had never performed breast self-examination, only a small percentage had undergone breast examinations by health professionals or participated in breast screening programs. Despite this, a substantial number of respondents, 74.3%, considered breast cancer screening important for young women.” These findings underscore the critical need for accessible and effective screening methods, particularly among younger demographics, highlighting the relevance and urgency of initiatives such as the proposed Breast Cancer Early Detection Device (BCEDD). The BCEDD aims to revolutionize breast health management by providing personalized, real-time feedback and support, facilitating proactive intervention and early detection of potential abnormalities. The online platform serves as a centralized hub for data collection, analysis, and communication between users and healthcare providers. Employing both qualitative research methods and statistical analysis, user-centered design principles guide the optimization of the BCEDD and platform to ensure accessibility, usability, and acceptance. By empowering younger women with continuous monitoring and personalized interventions, the BCEDD seeks to empower individuals to take initiative-taking control of their health, leading to improved healthcare outcomes.The following license files are associated with this item:
