We have all seen the pink ribbons that remind us about breast cancer. Now Avie Products has developed a product that is a partner in breast health: the Cue breast exam reminder.

Cue is a waterproof, electronic device that contains a self-exam reminder, a clock, a timer (so you also know when your conditioner has been in your hair for a minute), a doctor’s visit reminder, and more. It’s intended to be mounted in the shower/bath so that breasts can be examined in privacy—as well as with soapy hands so that there is less friction during the process.

Once the physical exam is complete, the woman should do a visual exam in a mirror as well.

This is a slick use of technology that when used in conjunction with other types of clinical imaging exams will only help women find breast cancers earlier when they’re most successfully treatable.
