In all it’s innovated design and stylistic glory, the Apple Watch sure is impressive. Didn’t you wish you had one for your breast, though? Of course, you do. A new groundbreaking wearable device has been developed. The device will not only be a fashion item, but it will help monitor women’s health, raise breast disease awareness and more. Here are a few key points to remember.
1. APPLE WATCH FOR FUN, EBED FOR YOUR BREASTS
The aptly named Electronic Breast Exam Device (EBED) is an Apple Watch kind of device that’s wearable and smart. The secret behind EBED is its sensor matrix. When EBED is put to a breast, a self-exam kicks in. The 5-10 minute process racks up data that is then transferred from the sensors to the user’s smartphone. From there, it’s analyzed in the app and any risks will be detected.
2. EBED IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
It may seem like EBED is a medical device but it’s not. Think of it as an Apple Watch that will save your life someday. It’s clinically approved system is more than 90% accurate, so that means you should probably listen to it. However, it’s still always best to consult a trained professional. If the EBED detects some sort of suspicious symptom, visit a doctor for a thorough medical checkup.
3. IT CAN DETECT CANCER
Using the advanced breast self -exam in 10 minutes, EBED has the possibility to detect a risk of breast cancer and other diseases. Hopefully, that never happens, but it’s nice to know such a device is available right on your wrist. On top of all that, this technology is completely safe, suitable, radiation free and yes, even stylish. Whether it’s as sleek as that Apple Watch you’ve always wanted is up for debate, but an Apple Watch probably won’t save your life like EBED.
4. TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Like the Apple Watch and any other watch out there, timing is everything. The same goes for the EBED, however, time takes on a different meaning here. Early detected breast cancer is far from a death sentence. Even the most malignant tumor can be cured if it has been timely detected. Sure, one could go to a doctor every day to prevent this, but that’s vastly unrealistic. Instead, just carry around a breast exam on your wrist for quick and easy testing.
5. NO ONE IS SAFE FROM CANCER
Not to take part in fear mongering or anything, but it’s true. No one is safe from cancer. Breast cancer may occur more often in women 50 years or older, but it takes a much more aggressive course in younger women. Instead of praying you are one of the lucky ones, take control of your own health. Thankfully, with technology such as EBED, it’s getting easier to do that every day.
