Identification of Breast Abnormalities Using Feminai-Breast Examination Patch: A Feasibility Study
The Feminai Breast Examination Kit showed high accuracy, particularly in sensitivity and NPV, indicating strong potential as a remote, cost-effective, and user-friendly early-detection tool. By enabling self-administered screening without reliance on specialized facilities, Feminai offers a scalable pathway to improve access in rural settings, low-resource communities, and medically underserved populations, groups most vulnerable to delayed diagnosis. Further large-scale validation is warranted, but these findings support its promise as an impactful addition to global breast-cancer screening strategies.
