Introduction

The incorporation of advanced emerging technologies has gained widespread popularity in the medical field, aiming to elevate diagnostics, treatment, and overall healthcare processes, as studied by Paternò and Lorenzon [19], Siriborvornratanakul [24], and Nagi et al. [16]. In the context of the provided passage, this phrase suggests the integration of cutting-edge technologies, as proposed by Kittipongdaja and Siriborvornratanakul [11], to tackle challenges in medical communication, particularly those associated with touch, as presented by Quezada et al. [20] and Liu et al. [14]. Communication has been a pivotal force throughout history, attaining unprecedented significance in the modern era through the integration of diverse technologies and knowledge. While our senses have made remarkable strides in overcoming past limitations, achieving near perfection in hearing and seeing, the intricacies of communication through touch pose ongoing challenges despite dedicated efforts by experts and developers to propel advancements in this domain.

Acknowledging these persistent gaps, the present study endeavors to bridge them by developing a prototype communication tool tailored to the concerns of both female patients and doctors during clinical breast examinations (CBE)—a nearly ubiquitous medical procedure. The anxiety, embarrassment, and tension commonly experienced by patients, especially those over 20, due to the necessity of exposing part of their bodies during the examination, act as a catalyst for the creation of an innovative breast cancer examination tool. This tool utilizes non-contact communication technology to address the challenges associated with direct physical contact during CBE, thereby fostering a more encouraging environment for women to undergo this vital examination without reservations.

In the creation of our groundbreaking prototype tool, PALLA, dedicated to breast cancer examination, we draw upon the realms of haptic communication, touch imitation, and various sensor technologies, coupled with expertise in cancer detection. The PALLA suit is complemented by an additional device—an artificial breast—through which doctors input touch information. This touch data is then transmitted to the PALLA suit, enabling it to replicate the pressure applied by the doctor to marked points. Simultaneously, the PALLA suit relays diverse resistance data and detects abnormalities through its installed sensors. This real-time information is promptly sent back to the doctor, facilitating an instantaneous diagnosis without the need for direct physical contact during the breast examinations conducted by medical professionals.

Hence, this paper introduces a prototype breast cancer examination tool that employs non-contact communication technology to mitigate concerns and encourage women to undergo examinations without apprehension. The development of our innovative PALLA breast cancer examination tool incorporates expertise in haptic communication, touch imitation, various sensors, and cancer detection. Alongside the PALLA suit, an additional device—an artificial breast—allows the doctor to input touch information. This data is then transmitted to the PALLA suit, enabling it to replicate the pressure applied by the doctor to marked points. Simultaneously, the PALLA suit relays diverse resistance data and detects abnormalities through its installed sensors, providing a real-time diagnosis without the necessity for direct physical contact. During breast examinations facilitated by our innovative PALLA prototype tool, doctors utilize an artificial breast device to input touch information. This tactile data is then transmitted to the PALLA suit, allowing it to replicate the pressure applied by the doctor to specific marked points, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate examination experience. Simultaneously, the PALLA suit relays real-time information, including diverse resistance data and detected abnormalities through its installed sensors, thereby enabling doctors to conduct thorough and precise breast examinations without the need for direct physical contact.
