Virtual Fittings- developing a new software using data algorithms and scanning technology to offer an accurate remote breast form fitting service to women in isolation following breast cancer treatment.

Boost Innovations Ltd致力于支持乳腺癌治疗后的女性。不幸的是，许多接受过乳房切除手术的女性属于高风险类别，由于新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，她们仍然被隔离。Boost已经设计并创造了一种新的开创性乳房形式，以恢复衣服下的形状。然而，为了准确起见，乳房形状拟合服务通常是亲自开始的。在线零售依赖于尺寸指南的解释，并且通常基于胸罩尺寸。这是一个问题，因为许多研究表明，高达80%的女性穿着错误尺寸的胸罩。与科技企业家Braista合作，Boost的项目将开创一种新的软件解决方案，支持女性远程获得准确、可靠和支持性的试衣服务。允许女性单独为自己确定正确的产品将通过帮助女性在手术后恢复舒适和形状来支持健康。不必要的在线订单、退货或对尺码表的误解将被避免，创造一种专注于远程智能手机参与的授权用户体验。我们独特的测量方法将结合联合收割机3D扫描、建模和测量包，让女性参与提供准确的数据。使用这些数据集，将开发算法来支持软件，提供准确的服务，识别合适的乳房形状产品。取消了试衣预约或无法浏览传统在线零售商选项的女性将有权获得远程支持，该支持利用独特的技术组合，以确保她们能够获得适合自己的乳房形状产品。这一创新将创造一个机会，打开内衣零售业，使网上零售更容易获得脆弱的妇女谁有乳腺癌治疗。2扩大我们的项目将使我们能够改善我们的虚拟试衣服务设计的两个关键领域。首先，我们可以改进MVP平台的可靠性，探索其功能并进一步投资于技术专业知识，以消除胸罩装配工和用户界面的缺陷，从而创造更流畅的用户体验。其次，Boost已经利用第一阶段收集的数据创建了两种额外的尺寸设计，以满足乳房形状更丰满的女性的需求。通过对这些模型进行建模并生产原型模具，额外的资金可用于将新尺寸添加到我们的算法数据集中，为系统提供更广泛的产品范围，以确定满足客户需求的合适产品。

Boost Innovations Ltd is dedicated to supporting women after breast cancer treatment. Unfortunately, many women who have had mastectomy operations are in high risk categories and remain isolated due to the Covid 19 outbreak. Boost has already designed and created a new pioneering breast form to restore shape under clothing. However, breast form fitting services are usually commenced in person, for the purposes of accuracy. Online retail relies on the interpretation of size guides, and are often based on bra size. This is problematic, as many studies indicate that up to 80% of women wear the wrong sized bra. Working with tech entrepreneurs Braista, Boost's project will pioneer a new software solution that will support women to access accurate, reliable and supportive fitting services remotely. Allowing women in isolation to identify the correct product for them will support wellbeing by helping women to regain comfort and shape after surgery. Unnecessary online orders, returns or misinterpretation of size charts will be avoided, creating an empowering user experience that focuses on remote smartphone based participation.Our unique measuring methodology will combine 3D scanning, modelling and measurement packs that engage women in providing accurate data. Using these data sets, algorithms will be developed to underpin the software, providing an accurate service that identifies a suitable breast form product. Women who have had fitting appointments cancelled or who have felt unable to navigate the options of traditional online retailers will be empowered to receive remote support that utilises a unique blend of technologies to ensure that they can access the right breast form products for them. this innovation will create an opportunity to open up the lingerie retail sector, making online retail more accessible to vulnerable women who have had breast cancer treatment.Extending our project will enable us to improve two key areas of our Virtual Fittings Service design. Firstly, we can make improvements to the reliability of the MVP platform, exploring the functionality and investing further in technical expertise to de-bug both the bra-fitter and the user’s interface to create a smoother user experience. Secondly, Boost has already utilised the data collected from the first phase to create two additional size designs that meet the needs of women who have a fuller breast shape. By modelling these and producing the prototype moulds, the additional funding can be used to add the new sizes to our algorithm’s data set, providing a broader product range for the system to identify suitable products that meet the needs of the customer.
