Miniaturized mmWave Antennas
High-resolution imaging capable of detecting tumors as small as 1 mm.
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, with 1 in 8 women developing it in their lifetime. Early detection significantly increases the chances of survival, yet current screening methods like mammograms are uncomfortable, costly, and often miss small tumors. This presents a crucial need for an accessible, user-friendly, and accurate breast cancer detection solution.
LotusWave aims to fill this gap by developing a miniaturized mmWave device for early-stage breast cancer detection. Utilizing advanced mmWave technology, our device can detect tumors as small as 1 mm in size, offering a non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation, and at-home monitoring solution. The handheld device integrates with a mobile app to guide users through the scanning process, provide immediate results, and seamlessly connect with healthcare providers for follow-up.
Enable women to perform routine screenings in the comfort of their homes, reducing barriers like cost, discomfort, and time.
Help detect tumors at earlier stages compared to traditional mammography by leveraging high-resolution imaging.
Provide a safe alternative to mammograms by eliminating radiation exposure, especially beneficial for frequent check-ups.
Serve as a supplemental screening tool for patients with dense breast tissue, where mammograms may be less effective.
Provide low-cost, portable breast cancer detection in underserved and rural areas with limited access to advanced imaging technologies.
Assist clinicians in confirming suspected abnormalities before recommending biopsies or invasive procedures.
Allow oncologists to monitor changes in tumor size or density in patients undergoing treatment.
Enable patients to share imaging data with healthcare providers remotely for faster diagnosis and second opinions.
