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 Innovation Ltd致力于为乳腺癌治疗后的女性提供支持。不幸的是，许多接受过乳房切除手术的女性属于高危类别，由于Covid 19疫情的爆发，她们仍然处于孤立状态。Boost已经设计并创造了一种新的开创性乳房造型，以恢复衣服下的形状。然而，出于准确性的目的，乳房试衣服务通常是亲自开始的。网上零售依赖于对尺码指南的解读，通常是基于胸罩的尺码。这是有问题的，因为许多研究表明，高达80%的女性穿错了尺寸的胸罩。Boost的项目与科技企业家Braista合作，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。允许隔离的女性识别适合她们的正确产品，将通过帮助女性在手术后恢复舒适和身材来支持健康。我们将避免不必要的在线订单、退货或对尺码图表的误解，创造出专注于基于智能手机的远程参与的授权用户体验。我们独特的测量方法将结合3D扫描、建模和测量包，让女性提供准确的数据。使用这些数据集，将开发算法来支持该软件，提供准确的服务，识别合适的乳房造型产品。取消试衣预约或无法选择传统在线零售商的女性将被授权接受远程支持，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丰胸产品。这一创新将创造一个开放内衣零售部门的机会，使接受过乳腺癌治疗的弱势女性更容易进行在线零售。扩展我们的项目将使我们能够改进我们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，以调试文胸试衣师和用户界面，以创建更流畅的用户体验。其次，Boost已经利用第一阶段收集的数据创建了两个额外的尺寸设计，以满足乳房更丰满的女性的需求。通过对这些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的数据集，从而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.
