A Mexican teen has created a bra that can aid in the early detection of breast cancer.

Julian Rios Cantu, 18, won $20,000 at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards this past weekend for his invention, EVA, a smart bra with built in sensors that can help detect early symptoms of breast cancer.

According to the New York Post, Rios Cantu began work on the bra after being inspired by his mother's struggles with breast cancer. The teen's mom reportedly battled the disease multiple times, which led to her having both mammary glands removed.

Rios Cantu, an engineering student from Monterrey, along with three friends, developed the bra through his company, Higia Technologies. The undergarment is fixed with about 200 biosensors which map the breast surface.

The biosensors measure the breast's temperature, weight and shape. The sensors also map the breast's surface and can determine the temperature of certain zones.

For example, more heat would show increased blood flow, which would indicate the vessels are feeding something, likely a form of cancer Rios Cantu said.

The bra “takes the temperature data, analyzes them, and sends the information to an application or any computer,” Rios Cantu told Infobae.

“As soon as there is a malformation in the breast or a tumor, there is an over-vascularization; so to more (flow of) blood, the higher the temperature,” he said.

Rios Cantu said the bra was created for women that are susceptible to the disease.
