Introduction: The SBra (Smart Bra) project aims to develop an intelligent bra, combining sensors for measuring skin temperature and the electrical impedance of breast tissue, which could be used for breast cancer screening. The objective of this study is to anticipate both the hindrances to usage and acceptability of SBra with respect to the breast cancer screening practices of healthcare professionals and patients, and then to propose ways to modify the shape and functions of the device to facilitate its potential insertion into the healthcare system.
Methods: A qualitative survey was conducted between September 2019 and December 2020, consisting of a series of interviews conducted with hospital and private healthcare professionals (N = 22) working in Burgundy-Franche-Comté and related to breast cancer, and with women aged 38 to 74 years old living in Burgundy-Franche-Comté and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (N = 21) who have or have not had breast cancer, and who either practice or refuse screening.
