The Dotplot aims to help women self-check at home and track any changes they may find on an app.

Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK but many women do not carry out regular self-examinations.

Once a month, soundwaves are used to record tissue composition - and if there are any suspicious changes or abnormalities, users are advised to see a healthcare professional. The five-year survival rate for stage-one breast cancer is about 95%, which drops to about 25% by the time the cancer is in stage four.But 64% of women aged 18-35 fail to regularly check their breasts, according Cancer Research UK and CoppaFeel.
