If anything appears out of the ordinary, the wearer will be alerted through the accompanying app. </p><p>"As soon as there is a malformation in the breast or a tumour, there is an over-vascularisation; so the more [flow of] blood, the higher the temperature," Cantu told <a href="http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/articulo/periodismo-de-datos/2016/10/5/luchan-contra-el-cancer-de-mama">El Universal</a>.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/wide-breast-cancer-detection-bra-1_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>You don't have to worry about swapping all your regular bras out for the EVA because you only need to wear it once a week to complete the screening. </p><p>"[It] allows us to have the breasts in the same position [so it can detect change] and it doesn't have to be worn more than one hour a week," Cantu said.</p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="jM5-xGsW4N8"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p>It is unclear whether or not Cantu will be putting his prize money towards this project or if he has investors lined up.
