Researchers are developing a bra that could detect the first signs of breast cancer.

The "Smart Bra" resembles a sports bra and is encased with sensors that can detect small changes in temperatures in breast tissue.

According to the study, the special bra has detected abnormalities with a 90 percent of higher accurate rate among women.

If the bra shows more success in trial stages, the bra could hit store shelves in 2014 at a retail price of $1000.
