Breast cancer remains a significant global health issue, affecting millions of women and often leading to late-stage diagnoses. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies, are effective but can be costly, invasive, and not widely accessible, causing delays in detection and treatment. This research highlights the potential of using machine learning models with physiological data for early breast cancer detection. By capturing subtle physiological variations from a smart bra, the device allows real-time, non-invasive monitoring, offering a preventive solution that reduces the need for frequent clinical visits. The data were collected from a modified mannequin designed to simulate conditions related to breast cancer. To classify cancerous conditions based on temperature and color data, three machine learning models were evaluated. The Random Forest (RF) model proved to be the most effective, achieving 89% accuracy, 86.11% precision, 88.57% recall, and an F1-score of 87.33%, demonstrating strong performance in identifying complex patterns. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) achieved an accuracy of 81.25%, precision of 85.7%, recall of 80%, and an F1-score of 82.64%. The Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) exhibited an accuracy of 72%, precision of 69.69%, recall of 65.71%, and an F1-score of 67.52%, suggesting potential but requiring further optimization. These models serve as valuable tools to assist medical professionals in early screening efforts. Future research should aim to improve the models’ generalizability by expanding the dataset, utilizing data augmentation, applying transfer learning, and incorporating additional variables. Clinical validation and human trials are essential next steps to evaluate the system's effectiveness.
