Caption
The device includes a thin, soft, pliable cord that lightly wraps around the outer circumference of the breast. Electrodes, which gently adhere to the skin, are integrated into each end of the cord. A small, lightweight “base station,” which also softly mounts onto the skin, sits in the middle of the cord between the electrodes. Enclosed in a soft, silicone case, the base station holds a small rechargeable battery, Bluetooth technology for wireless data transfer and a memory chip.
