MammaCare Clinical Breast Exam Simulator-Trainer
First Web-Based Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) Training Technology
The MammaCare CBE Simulator-Trainer is a breakthough, web-based technology that trains and validates clinical breast exam skills in real-time.
Supported in part by the National Science Foundation.
Any Computer + MammaCare's P.A.D.
Hands-on clinical breast exam training is delivered on any computer through the Google Chrome browser and MammaCare’s Palpation Assessment Device (P.A.D.).
Digital Instructor
A digital “clinical instructor” guides users through four training modules, assessing progress and providing corrective feedback in real time.
Real-Time Breast Exam Skills are Recorded for Remote Validation
MammaCare’s web-based training application automatically records the user’s:
- 3D tissue coverage
- True positive breast lump detections
- False positive breast lump detections
- The number of exam attempts taken to meet all clinical performance requirements
Lifelike Breast Lumps
MammaCare developed the only known polymeric breast models that replicate the tactile properties of surgically excised breast cancers and the surrounding, normally nodular tissues.
Users learn to distinguish suspicious lumps from healthy breast tissue.
Breast lump characteristics include:
- Lump Size: 0.03cm – 1cm
- Firmness: Hard to soft
- Mobility: Fixed and movable
- Placement: Surface, mid, chest wall
Search Pattern
The system’s technology follows and records the pattern and depth of each palpation. As examining fingers practice on successive modules, search pattern and thoroughness improve.
