Detect The “C” Scare In Advance
Ok this is a true story, my aunt who happens to be a doctor managed to detect a pip-sized (malignant) lump in her breast just coz she was a proficient doc who did this kinda stuff on a daily basis. Many of us women are neither that lucky nor skilled enuf to detect lumps of any kind! To help us out is the Luna Breast Care Device, which is a personalized intimate unit that allows us to examine ourselves in the comfort and privacy of our homes.
This handheld unit comes with intelligent biomedical technologies that can “feel for lumps on the human breast as to detect abnormalities under the surface of the skin.”
The two-part unit includes a charging interface with a screen and a soft screening pad interface made of flexible, bio-elastic materials with multiple sensors that process the info. A cumulative record of all the screenings is stored for further reference, which could come handy at the apt moment.
Designers: Agnes XUE Lishan, Wei Hangshuai & Ho Hung Yi

why would you want to wall mount this?
M.S.W. says
1. Avoid cluttering up the limited counter space in most bathrooms.
2. One less appliance plugged into the the few wall sockets in the bathroom.
3. Provides a quick visual reminder to the user to make daily use of it.

I didn’t know that, I was gonna say I wasn’t sure if it was a necessity as an in home device. But I’ll shut my mouth. Don’t know about the “intelligent biomedical technologies”, or about the “ease of travel” but overall a considerate and good design.
