Problem
Traditional methods for breast cancer detection, such as mammograms and ultrasounds, often prove ineffective in identifying early-stage tumors (lesions below 5mm) due to their inconspicuous symptoms. This leads to diagnoses at later stages, significantly reducing treatment effectiveness and survival rates. Current screening methods also require clinic visits, limiting accessibility and frequency of monitoring.
Solution
HK Biorhythm offers a wearable device, Breast Guardian, that enables non-invasive, at-home breast health monitoring. The device utilizes multi-precision smart sensors to capture cellular data related to metabolic heat changes via the body's microcirculation. This data is then uploaded to a secure cloud database, where a proprietary AI analytics system analyzes the information, excluding interference factors to improve the specificity of cellular metabolic heat rhythm as a biomarker. Users receive monthly reports on their mobile phones, providing health risk alerts and recommendations to facilitate timely medical examinations and early intervention.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes women aged 45-80, who are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer, as well as individuals seeking proactive and convenient breast health monitoring solutions.
