The objective is to develop a low-cost, low-maintenance prototype unit that can provide real-time, high resolution dielectric contrast mapping of the skin tissue. The flexible patch design ensures ease of placement on contoured surfaces (for example, breast). A smart phone-based operation is to enable plug and play operability suitable for remotely located primary health-care centers. The primary target will be the population in rural and suburban areas where there is uneven access to (skin tissue) scanning facilities.
