Abstract
A smart bra with optical sensors for detecting, imaging, and/or evaluating abnormal breast tissue includes a cup with a proximal outer ring, expandable chambers inside the proximal outer ring, and light emitters and light receivers between the expandable chambers and a person's breast. Changes in light emitted from the light emitters and received by the light receivers which are caused by transmission of the light through breast tissue can be analyzed to detect, image, and evaluate abnormal breast tissue.
Claims20
A smart bra cup comprising:
- a proximal outer ring which is part of a smart bra cup, wherein the outer ring is configured to encircle a person's breast;
- a plurality of expandable chambers inside the proximal outer ring;
- and
- a plurality of light emitters and light receivers between the plurality of expandable chambers and the person's breast;
- wherein changes in light emitted from the light emitters and received by the light receivers which are caused by transmission of the light through breast tissue are analyzed to detect, locate, evaluate, characterize, and/or image abnormal breast tissue.

A smart bra cup comprising:
- a proximal outer ring which is part of a smart bra cup, wherein the outer ring is configured to encircle a person's breast;
- a proximal inner ring which is part of the smart bra cup, wherein the inner ring is configured to encircle the person's breast and wherein the inner ring is inside the outer ring;
- a plurality of expandable chambers between the inner ring and the outer ring;
- an elastic concave distal portion of the smart bra cup which covers a distal portion of the person's breast;
- and
- a plurality of light emitters and light receivers between the inner ring and the person's breast, wherein changes in light emitted from the light emitters and received by the light receivers which are caused by transmission of the light through breast tissue are analyzed to detect, locate, evaluate, characterize, and/or image abnormal breast tissue.
3 more elements
A smart cup insert comprising:
- a cup insert which is configured to be removably inserted between the cup of a bra and a person's breast;
- wherein the cup insert further comprises a plurality of expandable chambers;
- and
- wherein the cup insert further comprises a plurality of light emitters and light receivers;
- and wherein changes in light emitted from the light emitters and received by the light receivers which are caused by transmission of the light through breast tissue are analyzed to detect, locate, evaluate, characterize, and/or image abnormal breast tissue.
