Prof. Elias Siores, director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the UK has invented a product called the Smart Bra, which is hoped will be used to detect the initiation of cancer forming cells prior to any substantial proliferation.

The Smart Bra relies upon the science of thermography, which in this context is the detection of minor temperature changes that occur to the breast tissue. As tumors begin to grow, they demand a higher blood flow to develop. This increased blood flow will result in an elevated temperature, signifying the initial stages of cancerous growth.
