Project Title:

ZA2702

Main material used:

-Silicone body:
made out of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) that is over-molded with plastic.
Soft to touch, Biocompatible, durable, excellent insulating properties, temperature
resistant, in addition to it’s translucency which gives a calming, relaxing final look to the
product body.

-Rubber handles:
EPDM Rubber grip (ethylene propylene diene monomer (M-class) rubber) a type of
synthetic rubber.
Are easy to handle, maximum interface strength, keeping direct contact with fingers,
greater stability and control, provided for comfort and reduces effort required in usage.

-OLED screen:
That has capacitive sensitivity built in, and generate light internally when powered. It is
also bendable allowing the screen to be curvy.

-LED light:
led light strip, which breaths during charging, and lights on during usage.

-Sensors:
The needed sensors for an accurate and precise analysis, described in details next..
-Ultrasound sensor:
The used frequency in this product is 7.5 MHz which works better for breast tissues, it
detect the exact size and location of the lump, and provide a closer look at the
surrounding tissues as well.

-Infrared sensor:
Uses Digital Infrared Imaging, to detect excessive metabolic activity and vascular
circulation. it’s temperature ranges from 10c to 40c.

-Pressure sensor:
sensor array printed on a flexible substrate which is polyamino acid that exhibits
piezoelectricity by adopting a structure that reduces current leakage. It is used to
evaluate the breast lesions elasticity contrast, and tissue strain hardening.

-Battery conductor:
Inductive charging, by using electromagnetic field to transfer energy.
A -12volt charger delivering 500 milliamps of nominal current will charge at 6 watts of
nominal power.

Size of the product (in cm):

Height: 5.5 cm
Length: 13 cm
Width: 7.5 cm
Product Statement:

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer
among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of women each year, as in
Egypt it represents 35.7% of total cancer cases.

Since there is no greater inspiration than the urging need to save lives, and prolonging
that unique relation between mothers and families. And since the early detection of
breast cancer play the leading role in cancer prevention, this product provides a new
technology that can early detect the exact location, size, and kind of breast tumors way
before mammography can do which allow females to obtain an accurate
self-examination at home with no external inference.

Throughout the design process, I analyzed the causes of cancerous tumors,

self-examination shortages, and concluded that many females don’t know what to look
for during self-examinations, as it’s hard to decide whether it’s cancerous or begin, and
the results are usually not accurate due to minimal practice.
What really set this product to a new whole level among it’s competitors, is it’s ability
to locate tumors, and defines whether this tumor is malignant or benign, in addition to
it's high sensitivity to any new suspicious activity. It covers up all the aspects that
self-examination cannot cover using a unique hybridization of sensors which have never
been used before together.

It has minimal false positive results; as it depends on the blood supply to expose
cancerous tumors, which eliminates over diagnosis.

This product is designed for home usage, so it is light, easy to hold and use, uses no
radiation exposure, and also not painful at all, it's definitely time efficient and avoids all
medical complications, the results are easy to understand by non-medical users, and
then sent to trusted doctors if any further examinations are required.

When it comes to design language, it conveys elegance, simple user interface, which
communicates strong, powerful, trustworthy, up-to date technology and healthy
life-style.
Price:

Cost of materials: About 10.200 LE ( the flexible led screen costs 9.000 ) if
mass-produced the cost of materials will drop the half.
Production overhead: About 2000 LE
Suggested retail price: About 7.000 LE
Competition prices: There isnt any exisisting products with the same technology but the
very basic ones which uses one infrared sensor, or one ultrasound sensor ranges between
3.000 LE. 7.000 LE.

The screen display during the process of self-examination, first step shows a basic abstraction of the breast shape with a rotatable radar that moves on from one area to another once this area is checked,
second step, once the entire breast is checked, a loading sign will appear, third step, the results are now ready, Normal breast (Negative results):A still image of the illustration is visible.,
if Breast with suspicious cancerous activity (Positive results): th e same illustration is visible but in white and in a breathing motion, so it appears and disappears continuously to indicate that there’s a
suspicious activity in the breast, or a cancerous tumor, and that further examinations are required along with the specialist doctor consultation.
