Development of a wearable electro-impedance tomography system for early breast cancer screening

This PhD project at the University of Auckland is focused on the development of a groundbreaking smart bra designed to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than current methods allow. The innovative approach involves integrating gentle and safe electrical signals into wearable textile technology, aiming to provide a non-invasive, user-friendly solution for early diagnosis. The research will likely encompass aspects of biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and medical science, including sensor design, signal processing, and clinical validation. The ultimate goal is to create a device that can be worn comfortably and seamlessly, offering continuous monitoring and potentially saving lives through earlier intervention. The project is ideal for candidates interested in healthcare innovation, wearable technology, and interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering and medicine. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description.
