MIT researchers have developed the first-ever wearable ultrasound device that could allow people to detect tumors when they are still in the early stages. This is particularly valuable for patients at high risk of developing breast cancer in between routine mammograms. This technology could hold the key to a more reliable, comfortable, and less intimidating diagnostic device that provides real-time, user-friendly results from the comfort of your home—providing continuous monitoring and potentially saving lives.
