Abstract:
A breast self-examination prompter device having the purpose of prompting a user to perform a routine breast self-examination is described. The device includes a âStartâ for activating the device and selecting a time cycle. A motion sensor is used to detect if a person is located near the device and cause the device to alert the person that the selected time cycle has been completed. The device also includes a micro-controller that provides control logic, timer and power control circuitry. An audio/visual component comprising one or both of an indicator light and an audible alarm is provided to alert the person. When the timing interval has expired and the motion sensor detects a persons presence, the micro-controller activates the audio/visual component. Also, the device includes a âExam Completeâ button for stopping the device.
