AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Avie Products today announced the introduction of a unique new product in the fight against breast cancer called "Cue." The waterproof electronic device, which reminds women, in the privacy of their showers, to perform regular breast self-exams, is being fully launched in the US this month to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Cue stands alone in the marketplace today as a breast self-exam reminder product for use in the shower. It can help women remember to perform their breast self-exams at the optimal time in their menstrual cycles. Cue tells the user, through a lighted display screen, to perform her breast self-exam seven days after her period begins. "A woman's breasts are likely to be the least tender, and hormones that can cause swelling are at their lowest point around this time in a woman's cycle. For those women who no longer have periods, Cue can easily be set to issue monthly reminders," said Beverly Smith, President of Avie Products.
Cue, with its polished, round, white face, is small enough to hold in your hand, and has a large suction cup base. It works by asking the user a series of questions on an attractive, bright blue display screen, and then using the answers to determine when breast self-exam reminders should be displayed. With two large input buttons, which function as either YES or NO to answer questions such as "Are your periods regular?" or as UP or DOWN to scroll through dates, Cue remains remarkably easy to use.
In addition to issuing breast self-exam reminders, Cue reminds women to make regular doctor's appointments, and it has a shower timer for conditioners and hair removal cremes, as well as a clock display and time tracker. Cue can be used by up to four women sharing the same bathroom by issuing personalized alerts displaying each user's name.
"While breast self-exams are not an excuse to skip the doctor's visit, they are one thing women can do between visits to take charge of their own health care. By becoming familiar with the landscape of her breasts through regular breast self-exams, a woman will be more likely to notice any changes, which she can then discuss with her doctor. Cue makes it easy to remember to perform regular breast self-exams and to schedule regular doctor's appointments," said Smith.
