A Flexible Wearable Thermography System Based on Bioheat Microsensors Network for Early Breast Cancer Detection: IoT Technology
Many women diagnosed by traditional screening methods, such as palpation, mammography, and MRI, do not discover their cancer until it is relatively advanced. This makes treatment more difficult and reduces the chance of a cure. To deal with this issue, we have developed a noninvasive embedded thermo...

| description | Many women diagnosed by traditional screening methods, such as palpation, mammography, and MRI, do not discover their cancer until it is relatively advanced. This makes treatment more difficult and reduces the chance of a cure. To deal with this issue, we have developed a noninvasive embedded thermography system that allows for an early detection of breast cancer. Indeed, the surface temperature distribution of the breast, which we will call the thermal image, can be used as a preventive indicator of the subsequent development of a cancerous tumor. This is due to the metabolic activity of the immune system, which induces, in the presence of cancer cells, a local increase of temperature even before the tumor tissue is differentiated and detectable by conventional imaging systems. The proposed system is designed as a network of bioheat microsensors applied to the breast, to measure periodically the temperature gradients on the surface. All the bioheat microsensors are addressed by a microcontroller via the I2C protocol. To calibrate and evaluate the proposed system, we have proposed an experimental model of the breast, inside which we have placed Joule effect heating elements. |
