Abstract
A simple and cheap tactile breast self-examination system that can be used in a ubiquitous healthcare environment has been demonstrated by a team at Seoul National University in Korea. Consisting of a palm-sized wireless scanning probe, a web camera and PC software, it is able to display the location of any lumps in the breast, and define if an abnormality exists. This system can help to overcome the difficulties in tactile perception and subjective interpretation that untrained women currently face in self-examination, and its low cost and portability make it suitable for widespread use in the home.
