"Nigerian Entrepreneur Develops Bra with Breast Cancer Detection Technology"

Nigerian entrepreneur Kemisola Bolarinwa has developed a Smart Bra, a wearable, battery-operated device that uses ultrasound to detect breast cancer in its early stages. The device will undergo a large-scale trial in Nigeria this year and aims to reduce the number of women dying from breast cancer by 80%. Bolarinwa, who faced sexism in the tech sector, hopes her work will inspire more women to pursue careers in STEM fields. The project has received funding from the Nigerian government and Standard Chartered bank, and Bolarinwa aims to make the device available for free to women who cannot afford to buy one.
