Luminous Global is launching its groundbreaking breast health monitoring device, the Luminous Pro Series, in the UK. This innovative tool is designed to empower women and men to take ownership of their breast health, offering a non-invasive, portable, and easy-to-use solution for early breast cancer detection. With breast cancer being the most common cancer in the UK, affecting 1 in 7 women in their lifetime, this launch promises to revolutionise breast health awareness and offer a game-changing approach to early detection.
Revolutionary Technology for Early Detection
The Luminous Pro Series uses CE-registered Class 1 medical device transillumination patented technology. By shining an LED red light through the breast tissue, users can visually assess the health of their breasts. Abnormalities are displayed as darker or shadowy areas, providing an early warning of potential issues. This technology offers both at-home and clinical use, bridging the gap between regular self-examinations and professional medical consultations.
Unlike traditional methods, this device allows users to monitor their breast health regularly between clinical screenings. This empowers individuals to track changes and identify abnormalities early, which could significantly improve survival rates. The importance of early detection cannot be overstated, as breast cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all cancer deaths in UK women.
Educating and Empowering Women
Kirsty Lawson, CEO of Luminous Global UK, highlights the significance of this device, stating: “This is not just a product; it’s a powerful movement towards proactive care and education. Our mission is to arm women with the resources to take charge of their breast health and, ultimately, save lives.”
The Luminous Pro Series Breast device is suitable for all individuals, regardless of gender, race, or prior chest surgeries, such as augmentation or mastectomy. Its portability makes it a convenient tool for everyday use, whether at home or while travelling. The device complements existing breast self-exams and clinical examinations, adding a vital layer of security in early breast health monitoring.
Personal Experience Inspiring Innovation
Kirsty Lawson’s personal experience with breast abnormalities makes her particularly passionate about the project. She shared her story: “Last year, after a routine mammogram, I was notified of an abnormality. I endured a four-week wait for further testing, only to discover the abnormality was due to an air pocket. That waiting period was agonising. I believe if I had had the Luminous Pro Series Breast device, my worry could have been reduced or avoided altogether.”
While the Luminous Pro Series is not meant to replace mammograms, it acts as a complementary tool. The device helps establish a personalised baseline of breast health by mapping arterial blood flow and identifying any deviations, such as visual darkness or shadowing, which may indicate abnormalities.
The Role of Technology in Transforming Healthcare
With breast cancer posing a significant threat to women’s health, technological advancements like the Luminous Pro Series are vital in changing how breast health is monitored and addressed. The device’s ability to provide real-time feedback and visualise changes enhances early detection, which in turn can lead to more timely medical consultations and treatments.
“By integrating the Luminous Pro Series Breast device into clinics and hospitals, we can offer a higher standard of care,” says Lawson. “This device has the potential to transform breast health monitoring, promoting early detection and saving lives on a global scale.”
A Complementary Tool for Improved Screening
The Luminous Pro Series does not aim to replace mammograms, which remain the gold standard for breast screening. However, its use as an adjunct tool can provide peace of mind between screenings and contribute to more efficient early detection strategies.
As breast cancer continues to affect millions of women globally, innovations like the Luminous Pro Series provide hope for improved outcomes and empower individuals to take control of their health in a proactive and accessible way.
