The first patent for an electronic cigarette was already filed in 1963, but inventor Herbert Gilbert never found a company willing to mass-produce his invention. His device works the same way as modern e-cigarettes, “containing a liquid that was warmed by a battery-powered device, creating a vapor that a person inhaled”.

After Almost Losing His Mother, This Teen Invented a Bra That Can Detect Breast Cancer Early
I bet we’ll be hearing from this young man for many years.
After Julián Ríos Cantú watched his mother endure two bouts with breast cancer, the 18-year-old from Mexico decided he wanted to help out other women who might not have access to affordable healthcare.
Posted by Julián Ríos Cantú on Monday, November 20, 2017
Cantú’s mother ended up having a mastectomy. Standard screenings missed the lumps in his mother’s breasts because her high breast density obscured the growths. Cantú said, “At that moment, I realized that if that was the case for a woman with private insurance and a prevention mindset, then for most women in developing countries, like Mexico where we’re from, the outcome could’ve not been a mastectomy but death.”
Toma el control de tu salud, hazte una #EvaMember y tendrás acceso a
-Una exploración mensual con Eva -Una mastografía o ultrasonido anual -Seguimiento personalizado a la salud de tus pechos -Acceso a biopsia de ser necesario -Una invitada gratis . . * Eva es un método adjunto para el monitoreo de la salud de los pechos. La tecnología de Eva está aprobada por la FDA en la sección "Sec. 884.2980 Telethermographic system”. Eva no es un sustituto a la mastografía o a herramientas de tamizaje adicionales.Cantú took matters into his own hands, inventing Eva, a “bio-sensing bra insert” that uses thermal sensing and artificial intelligence to create a thermal map of women’s breasts. Abnormal temperatures and tumor growth are related, and an Eva insert can help women detect cancerous growths. It also helps with the self-examination process.
As things stand today, patients don’t have a lot of options for early detection of breast cancer. If you’re under 45, you can’t receive mammograms due to concerns about exposure to radiation. Even if you’re over that age, mammograms can be very expensive.
The Eva technology does not emit any radiation, and women of all ages can wear the insert.
The company has performed clinical trials on more than 2,000 women in Mexico. Eva’s website says,
“Eva’s technology is approved by the FDA as an adjunct method for breast cancer detection in section 884.2980 Teletermographic Systems. Similarly, Eva Clinic operates under the highest ethical standards, strictly following the Official Mexican Standard NOM-041-SSA2-2011, for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, control, and surveillance of breast cancer.”
The product is now available for use at certified Eva clinics, but who knows? Maybe someday it’ll be in our houses, helping women detect breast cancer even earlier.
