Wearable & Social Breast Cancer Screening
Channel: The Doctor Weighs In

In this interview with Rob Royea, the CEO of Cyrcadia (formerly known as First Warning Systems) we are introduced to the company's novel approach to breast cancer screening.

Unlike prior attempts to use thermography, Cyrcadia's technology detects abnormal circadian changes in heat production characteristic of breast cancer and then runs them against proprietary predictive analytic algorithms to make a determination of possible cancer. An associated mobile app allows social sharing so family members at risk can be encouraged to do monthly screenings with the device.
