Conformable Decoders

Congratulations to Media Lab Professor @dagdevirencanan on being inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (@AIMBE) College of Fellows as part of the 2026 class! media.mit.edu/posts/canan-da…

“We chose to focus on breast cancer because it sits at the intersection of urgent medical need, clear technological gaps, and major societal impact.” In an interview with MedScriptum, Prof. @dagdevirencanan discusses her work developing new tools to diagnose breast tumors and monitor disease progression and the efficacy of treatment. medscriptum.org/en/a-breakthro…

A Breakthrough in Breast Cancer Screening: An Interview with MIT’s Canan Dağdeviren medscriptum.org/en/a-breakthro… via @MedScriptum

On Feb. 11 at 10am ET, join the @CDecoders group, led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan, for a special seminar with Rear Admiral Susan Blumenthal, MD, MPA (ret.). Dr. Blumenthal, who is a member of the MIT Media Lab Director's Circle and serves as the Honorary Chair of the Media Lab's WHx Program for Women’s Health, will share her remarkable story on women's health. mitmedialab.info/45TzsII

20 to 30 percent of all breast tumors are diagnosed between regular screenings. For some individuals at high risk for breast cancer, frequent ultrasound scanning in addition to regular mammograms could help to boost the number of tumors that are detected early. A portable ultrasound scanner developed by researchers in the @cdecoders group led by Prof. @dagdevirencanan could make it easier for breast ultrasounds to be performed more often, either at home or at a doctor’s office. news.mit.edu/2026/portable-…

The wearable ultrasound patch, developed in our Conformable Decoders group and our newly established women’s health program (WHx), is designed for operator-independent, large-area imaging. This could enable continuous health monitoring in space.

As of today, our dear friend Amanda Nguyen, the first Vietnamese-American astronaut, took our wearable ultrasound patch to the space—with the first ever only female crew space flight in history🚀👩🏻‍🚀 #wearableultrasoundpatch #blueorigin🚀
