Luminous Global Tech is developing world's first first breast familiarity tool designed to give users a visual reference of their breast health and embrace an awareness lifestyle. This technology illuminates soft tissue and blood flow in the breast, establishing a specific baseline for the user that they may identify changes or potential abnormalities. Areas characterized by visual darkness or shadows may indicate possible anomalies. Luminous is a non-invasive technique that enables the visualization of the venous flow/pattern in the breasts using a no risk Class 1 medical device. The device is available for use in Europe but not FDA approved yet. The company is working with Prof. Pan's lab to achieve: 1) a ML/AI based algorithm to process the images collected with this sytem to identify abonormalities (microcalcification, pigmentation, vessel narrowing, etc.) 2) propose and test a better method to capture images 3) study use of a food grade dye as one time use applicator on the skin to increase the tissue transparency for better visibility.
