Inspired by her aunt’s battle with cancer, Canan Dağdeviren developed a wearable ultrasound monitor that can screen women between regular checkups. She says it could save 12 million lives a year.

Breast cancer affects the lives of many women throughout their life. A scientist developed a new wearable bra inspired by her aunt's battle with cancer. The device could detect the disease before it spreads.

Professor Amar G. Bose Research Grants were awarded to bold research projects by MIT faculty Kaitlyn Becker, Canan Dagdeviren, and Luca Daniel across diverse areas of study including engineering, animal behavior, and human movement.

MIT researchers have developed a sensor to make it much easier to ensure a good face mask fit and it can be applied to any kind of mask.

MIT seniors Sara V. Fernandez, Amanda Hu, and Brigette Wang have been named 2024 Schwarzman Scholars and will travel to Tsinghua University in China next fall to pursue master's degrees in global affairs.

Sensors employed for better fitting facemasks

Wearing a mask can help stop the spread of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, but how well it fits will determine how successful it is.

An MIT sensor can measure biological and environmental signals, and evaluate how well a face mask fits by measuring physical contact between the mask and the wearer’s face.
