What is the AI Breast Exam Trainer?

The AI Breast Exam Trainer by MammaCare is a web-based clinical breast exam simulation platform. It uses a physical Palpation Assessment Device (P.A.D.) and tactually-accurate breast models to objectively train, measure, and certify healthcare professionals in breast exam proficiency through Google Chrome.

What competencies does the AI Breast Exam Trainer measure?

The platform measures three core breast exam competencies: sensitivity (positive detection of suspicious tumors 0.3cm–1.0cm), specificity (false positive detection within defined limits), and thoroughness (palpation of at least 90% of breast tissue within the range of pressures required to detect tumors at all depths).

How effective is the AI Breast Exam Trainer?

Clinical research shows the AI Breast Exam Trainer significantly improves provider performance. In published studies, lump detection proficiency improved from 24% pre-course to 83% post-course. A separate study found that 94% of primary care providers could detect 60–100% of lumps after training, up from 59% before training.

What hardware is required to use the AI Breast Exam Trainer?

The AI Breast Exam Trainer requires the MammaCare Palpation Assessment Device (P.A.D.) and tactually-accurate breast simulation models. The training platform itself runs through any modern computer via the Google Chrome browser. No proprietary software installation is required.

How much does the AI Breast Exam Trainer cost?

Each AI Breast Exam Trainer unit is $2,550 (one-time equipment cost). Year 1 course access is included at no additional cost. From Year 2 onward, annual course access is $500 per unit. Volume discounts are available starting at 4 units.

Who is the AI Breast Exam Trainer designed for?

The AI Breast Exam Trainer is designed for healthcare institutions training clinical providers in breast examination, including medical schools, nursing programs, residency programs, health departments, VA medical facilities, and global health organizations. It supports individual providers through large enterprise health systems.

Setting the Standard

The only AI that knows the standard
and holds your fingers to it.

For over 50 years, MammaCare has defined the standard for quality breast exams. The AI Breast Exam Trainer brings that standard to any learner, any institution, at any scale.

The Standard in Action

Measured. Every time.

A quality breast exam demands four skills simultaneously: Proper palpation technique, accurate lump detection, the discipline to avoid false positives, and thoroughness.

01 Palpation Technique before detection

02 Sensitivity Find what's there

03 Specificity Know what's normal and what's not

04 Thoroughness Leave no tissue unexamined

The Curriculum

4 modules. 2 hours.

The standard training curriculum follows four hands-on training modules in sequence and takes approximately two hours per trainee.

Modules 1 through 4 progress from AI-guided technique fundamentals to precision evaluation, building on the competencies established in each previous module.

Exam Difficulty

	Tumor Sizes	Coverage	True Positives	False Positives
Module 1	5-10mm
Module 2	5-10mm
Module 3	5-7mm
Module 4	3-5mm

What trainees say

Confidence that carries into the clinic.

“

This is an extremely beneficial training for CBE. I know I will need more practice but I can truly say I feel much more confident performing a CBE now. I definitely would recommend this training for anyone who is in school to become a provider.

“

I really liked being able to have my first hands-on experience with a simulation rather than a patient. It helped to build my confidence to detect smaller lumps, and I now feel more prepared to perform CBEs in a clinical setting.

“

The immediate feedback provided after completing the CBE is very helpful. Also, getting to see the different levels of palpation in real time is beneficial.

The modules were clear, the quizzes were appropriate, and the hands-on simulation was extremely helpful and thorough. I now feel ready to perform this exam on real patients.

I loved this training. I would have never known how much pressure you are supposed to use when palpating a breast. I found this extremely helpful.

Clinical Student

Binghamton University

“

The MammaCare AI Breast Exam Trainer is harder to feel abnormalities on than actual breasts. This was helpful. I immediately saw an increase in my knowledge when performing CBEs on patients.

This training was very helpful in simulating how to do a breast exam. It not only makes me more confident with patients but has also improved my confidence in my own self-exams.

I enjoy the incorporation of all learning techniques in these modules. This concept (hear, watch, and do) allows for much better comprehension than traditional clinical training.

Case Studies

MammaCare adapts to your training needs

Medical Education

Building baseline technique before the first real patient.

University of Louisville integrates Modules 1 and 2 into their first-year curriculum. Students complete both modules in the simulation lab, then move directly to practicing on live surrogate patients, arriving with calibrated hands instead of no experience at all.

Modules 1–2 First-year medical students

Public Health

A traveling simulator that reaches nurses across an entire state.

The Georgia Department of Public Health Breast and Cervical Cancer Program operates a fleet of simulators that rotate between clinics in their breast and cervical cancer screening program. Nurses train on the device at their clinic, then ship it to the next site. Completed training counts toward CE hours through their state board of nursing.

All 4 modules CE hours awarded Statewide fleet

Global Health

Trained midwives across Ghana. Published the results.

Sanford Health gathered midwives from clinics across multiple Ghanaian cities at central locations with sufficient facility space and reliable internet access. After completing simulation training, midwives returned to their clinics equipped with validated breast exam technique. The program's outcomes were documented in a 2024 peer-reviewed study.
