Wearable self-examination aid
A T-shirt has become the latest tool in the battle against breast cancer. The Mark for Life breast self-examination kit features a form-fitting T-shirt with printed diagrams that guide the wearer’s hand motions.
With the enclosed pen, women can mark the location of any lumps on the shirt, enabling a comparison from month to month.
