Wearable Device for Breast Self-Examination: Palpreast

Wearable Device for Breast Self-Examination: Palpreast

Purposely designed parts

An appropriate interface, designed with Processing IDE (https://processing.org), was used to interpret the intensity of the pressure acquired by the wearable system: differences between the left and right breast are represented by a heat map that replicates the sensor matrix structure (Figure 1).


The interface code, developed through Processing is available in the repository section: Palpreast Interface code
