Animated illustrations designed by French artist Eloïse Heinzer bring bold colors and beautiful representation to your self-check moment. From start to finish, the KAB App guides you through each of the steps to completing a comprehensive breast self-exam.
We advocate for the self-check because so often, we hear from young women who have found their own lumps (both benign and malignant), or noticed other symptoms “by accident.” With 40% of diagnosed breast cancers being self-detected (according to the Johns Hopkins Medical Center), establishing what is “normal” for you is crucial to knowing your body and creating awareness of when something is wrong. That’s why we have our taglines of “know your normal” and “check yourself.”
The rate of breast cancer death is decreasing. It has declined by 44% over the past few decades. The reason? Early detection. While mammography and other such medical testing are also important, doing a routine self-check can be just as life-saving. Self-checks are especially important for young people, as generally, women don’t start getting mammograms until the age of 40, creating the faulty belief that breast cancer only affects women 40 and older.
Early detection saves lives.
The app supports habit-forming with monthly notifications reminding you to complete your self-checks, and empowers you to be your best health advocate by supplying tips and resources to help you learn about breast health and potential symptoms requiring follow-up.
Our app makes it easy to “set and never forget!” We’ll send a monthly notification that reminds you to do your self-check. Because consistency is key! We’ve got you. 🫶🏻
The Keep A Breast app focuses on information, support, and, most importantly, access. Our self-check health technology tool is the first of its kind to have an integrated telehealth component, thanks to our partnership with Carbon Health.
Carbon Health is a modern health chain that is just as dedicated to accessibility, transparency and personal care as we are. Carbon Health provides urgent and primary care for easier everyday health, and combines advanced technology with expert care.
Through our partnership, KAB App users are supported with direct, instantaneous connection with healthcare professionals in the event you find something irregular for your body during your breast self-check.
We’ve firsthand experienced care through Carbon Health’s dedicated healthcare providers and were impressed with the way we felt heard, cared for and supported. We’re delighted to be able to provide this same level of care to our KAB App users through this incredible partnership!
The KAB App is our organization’s commitment to access in practice. A simple tool that puts health education empowerment right in your pocket, in 3 languages (and we’re working to add more!)
Our app is available worldwide, with 55,200+ users and counting in 120 countries, spotlighting a desire from more people than ever before to #knowtheirnormal when it comes to their breast health.
It was also important to us to provide the app at no cost to our users, allowing virtually anyone with an internet connection to access our app and stay on top of their personal health.
Our app is supported solely through sponsorship from our charitable partners and individual donors.
As we look toward the vital work of continuing to improve accessibility for this early detection app, we need your help. Improvements to the app require dedicated planning, iteration, resources and financial support.
If you think that it’s worthwhile to have this breast self-exam application available to more people, in more languages, with more telehealth partnership connections accessible globally, you can make a donation to fund the Keep A Breast App. Because without you, we couldn’t provide this life-saving tool.
The KAB App helps you practice
breast self-check in a fun way!
…if someone feels something is concerning,
they need to advocate for themselves, because
the earlier we catch breast cancer, the much
higher likelihood that we can cure it.
First breast health app to directly connect you
with a medical professional.
While breast self-exam apps are nothing new, the Keep A Breast app is the first to have an integrated telehealth component thanks to a partnership with Carbon Health.
“Self-checks are an important tool that serves as a first line of defense in detecting breast cancer, and the main barrier to accessing this critical tool is lack of education and awareness. Keep A Breast has been working hard to solve that gap, and Carbon Health is proud to work together in providing seamless care to those who may need it. Our providers at Carbon Health are here to talk through any concerns someone may have as a result of their self-check, so they are not left to wonder and worry.” —Dr. Sujal Mandavia, MD - Chief Medical Officer of Carbon Health
“The average woman has a 12% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Many factors affect this, including family history, breast density, diet, weight, pregnancies, and breastfeeding - the list goes on. While we, as clinicians, can use tools to make estimates regarding your personal risk and are trained at knowing normal from abnormal breast masses, you should know your body as well. Ask your primary care doctor or gynecologist to talk you through their findings when they perform your breast exam, so you are aware of any normal feeling lumps or bumps, as we all have them! That way, you will know if something doesn’t feel right. Early detection of breast cancer increases the chance for cure, especially in young women who aren’t undergoing routine screening.” —Dr. Aashini Master, DO | Breast and Integrative Oncologist at UCLA
KAB App users love the ease of use of this self-check resource!
