Hopcure is working on its product BCD (Breast Cancer Detector) which is in its Research & Development phase. This innovative, high-tech project will help women in the detection of breast cancer at an early stage. The device will be placed in the hospital or GP clinic's emergency room, and walk-in patients (women at risk) can get pre-screened at a very low cost. It will revolutionize the way breast cancer is pre-screened.
