This New 3D Sensor Can Help Detect Breast Cancer Or See Through Walls

Touted as having the ability to see through walls, Vayyar's new 3D sensors can see through just about anything, including body tissue and organs.
The company's low power sensors can see through skin and tissue to detect breast or other cancer masses, peek through walls to detect structural foundations or fractures and track a person’s location and vital signs as they move through a smart home.
To see through things, Vayyar's technology creates a 3D image based on radio frequency (RF) waves which allow Vayyar’s sensors to look into and inside an object and detect an image of what's inside.
"Our vision is that women won’t need to go to special screening clinics for mammograms performed in a big bulky (and uncomfortable) machine, but rather have Vayyar’s device at their physician's office," said Raviv Melamed, CEO, Vayyar. "It is portable, compact, light, and was designed to be inexpensive so that it can also provide advanced medical care to areas with limited resources, e.g. third-world countries."
The company used their 3D sensor technology in an in-vivo trial in an Israeli hospital in 2015 and is adding another hospital in 2016.
"At a certain point, we realized and understood that these sensors can be used in multiple markets - basically in every place where non-destructive testing and detecting of different anomalies in the object is needed," said Melamed. "Liquids are a huge part of our lives, for example, 10% of the milk in the world today is thrown away due to contamination. If we can reduce just a small part of that waste, it will be amazing. Our sensors can help with that."
Even though Vayyar's sensors were originally designed to detect and image for breast cancer, the company plans to expand to other industries including the Internet of Things (IoT), smart home applications, connected healthcare, agriculture and robotics.

Melamed says monitoring aging populations and alerting against falls, no breathing, etc. is a
