1 in 7 UK women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and on average around 30 women a day die from breast cancer in the UK. The DotPlot team aim to reduce this by helping women detect changes to their breast tissue at an early stage.  

​

Their portable, handheld device uses patent-pending technology to build a map of the user’s chest and take detect changes in their breast tissue. The tool is programmed to identify different areas around the breast to map the reading to specific points – meaning any changes in tissue density can be easily detected. When used over several months, the tool can provide month-by-month comparisons of breast tissue compositions which helps to flag abnormalities as early as possible.  

​

The device is linked to a specially designed app, where users can follow a step-by-step guide on how to check each area of their breasts. The app provides real-time feedback and generates a report at the end of each check, which can be compared to information gathered in previous months.
