Abstract :
Breast cancer is becoming one of the most
common diseases among women and is a growing global
concern. A significant number of women have died
worldwide from breast cancer. Studies suggest that early
detection gives one better chance at treatment and
management. However, the major challenges in early
detection of breast cancer are awareness issues and
patients’ insensitivity about the disease. This implies that
regular breast examination leads to early detection of signs
and symptoms of breast cancer. This exercise has been
challenged with awareness, improper ways of conducting it
and reporting of signs and symptom to appropriate
quarters. This work is aimed at designing and development
of a computer assisted system that runs on both desktop
and mobile device(s) to assist women in conducting self-
breast examination. To achieve this, object oriented analysis
and design methodology (OOADM) was adopted for
investigation and implementation. This work was designed
and implemented in Microsoft Visual Studio while MySQL
was used as the database management (DBMS). The rule-
based approach was used for classification of breast
abnormality. The result is an eHealth information system
for early detection of breast cancer and patient monitoring.
This will assist women to properly conduct self-breast
examination, upload signs and symptoms discovered and
enable medical professionals monitor patients.
