Kemisola Bolarinwa is a robotics engineer from Nigeria and the founder and CEO of Nextwear Technologies, a company dedicated to providing tech solutions and wearables for health purposes. Bolarinwa’s innovative smart bra is equipped with technology to help detect lumps in the breast, similar to a portable-sized ultrasound. The smart bra utilizes nanotechnology and an ultrasound system called the Doppler for measuring high-frequency sound waves emitted from the body to detect blood clots, heart defects, and blocked arteries.
With the smart bra, consumers can effectively check their breasts for lumps and detect signs of breast cancer early. Wearing the device for 30 minutes is enough to gather the readings necessary for analysis, and its IoT and Application Programming Interface (API) components translate them into understandable information.
