Because YOU matter! Learn Breast examination skills through simulation-based training

"A Feel a Day Keeps the Doctor Away"

Despite the increased use of mammograms to screen for breast cancer,?a large percentage of breast cancers are still detected by manual breast self-examination or by a healthcare professional during a routine visit.?Therefore it's crucial to learn and develop assessment skills.

Impart Haptic Skills

Haptic skills are simply: the science and art of touch. In other words, it's knowing how to touch something and knowing how things are supposed to feel. Improving your haptic skills is primarily step that will help you identify whether your breasts are healthy or present some abnormalities.

A visual assessment alone is not always the best method.?Tactile procedure is required to detect and identify an abnormality. Moreover, the practical and ethical limitations of training on a live patient make competency assessment more difficult.

Therefore, a tool is needed to learn that skill and spread breast cancer awareness in the society. Simulation-based training can provide you with both the visual and tactile feedback you need without the risk of harming a real patient.

Importance of Simulation in spreading awareness

Breast Cancer Examination Trainer is considered an essential tool for teaching haptic skills. Since these highly realistic task trainers simulate the feel and density of breast tissue, you can practice by applying a systematic palpation pattern to ensure you examine all of the breast tissue and become familiar with what feels normal and what feels abnormal.

Furthermore, some of these skills trainers are wearable with natural casting of a female upper body to demonstrate realistic self-examination . It can easily be worn, in order to better train and practice breast self-examination. These skills trainers can also be equipped with benign and malignant tumors in different stages.

Breast exams are a vital part of women’s healthcare. Every Month should be Breast Cancer Awareness Month,?we should all continue to draw attention to the importance of regular breast self-examinations, clearly the role that haptic skills play in early detection and diagnoses.

The best protection is early detection; by learning and developing haptic skills through simulation-based training, you will have the ability to accurately perform a breast self-exam and potentially diagnose an abnormality early enough to ensure a positive outcome for the treatment.

We can't give breast cancer any chance to win!
