Now Avie Products has developed a product that is a partner in [breast health](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-2): 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showerclear)/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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-cancer-screening) will only help women find breast cancers earlier when they’re most successfully treatable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Waterproof Electronic Reminder Devices:** The Cue breast exam reminder showcases the trend of waterproof electronic reminder devices that help individuals maintain healthy habits even in the shower. - **Integrating Health Reminder Products:** Avie Products' Cue demonstrates the trend of integrating health reminder products into everyday routines, offering a seamless way for women to remember important breast exams. - **Enhancing Privacy and Convenience in Health Practices:** The Cue breast exam reminder addresses the trend of enhancing privacy and convenience in health practices by providing a mountable device that enables women to examine their breasts in the shower with soapy hands. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare Technology:** The Cue breast exam reminder presents an opportunity for the healthcare technology industry to develop more innovative devices that promote preventive care and early detection of diseases. - **Personal Care Products:** In the field of personal care products, the integration of health reminders like Cue exemplifies an opportunity to create new offerings that cater to individuals' health and wellness needs. - **Medical Imaging:** By combining the use of Cue with other types of clinical imaging exams, the medical imaging industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in improving the detection and treatment of breast cancers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Self-Screening Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teal-wand.md) - [Robotic Breast Examinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-of-bristol-1.md) - [Symptom-Reducing Chest Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cue1.md) - [Breast Health Awareness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/know-your-lemons.md) - [AI-Powered At-Home Screenings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feminai.md) - [Virtual Health Test Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cue-health.md) - [Wearable Skin Protection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-uv-detector.md) - [Breast Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dotplot.md) - [Cancer-Symptom Detecting Bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stage-zero.md)
