breastIT is a portable diagnosis tool for breast abnormalities as cancer. It's a handheld, pocket sized photo-acoustic imaging system that empowers radiologists to make focused assessments and accelerate treatment decisions at the point of care. Radiologists can be able to take decisive action, refer patients quickly, optimize the course of treatment reducing the overall cost of care in low resource settings. The device can be used by individuals or nurses after a few minutes of instructions as part of a regular breast cancer check up. The results are usually analyzed by an algorithm inside the mobile application instantly, and if need be, can be sent to radiologists via a cloud system for a consultancy in under a week. Screening for breast cancer patients is thus cheaper and more accessible. As breast IT accelerates the rate of early breast cancer detection, its primary impact is increasing the survival rate of women who live with the condition. The portability of the device means that especially women in poor and rural areas are able to benefit from the technology. The team has high ambitions, hoping to launch their product worldwide and then use the data collected to support academic research of breast cancer. The team further aims to increase the amount of women being screened for breast cancer in Uganda by 30% within 7 years. The impact of the team is underpinned by a dual philosophy of maintaining the affordability and portability of their product, to allow continued ease of use and access.
