Does it have to be wearable? Wouldn't it be enough to have one at home for daily checks? Sure, it's an agressive cancer, but it's not acting that fast.
The device needs to get positioned at 6 repeatable places. Usually the doc does that, but now the patients are doing it to themselves.
This bra and the white frame does the job. You don't want to have tatooed crosshairs there on your boob.
