    Presentation Brief: Anew, Supporting Women Through
    Post-Mastectomy Bra and Prosthesis Fitting
    Presented by Stephanie Ballintijn, MSc Design for Interaction student, TU Delft Faculty of
    Industrial Design Engineering
    Even without surgery, roughly 8 in 10 women already wear the wrong bra size under standard
    store measurement. For women who have had a mastectomy, that gap widens further:
    scarring, asymmetry, and areas of changed sensitivity aren't accounted for by any
    conventional sizing method. The result, survivors describe in this research, is a long, often
    expensive, and frequently isolating search for a bra or prosthesis that actually fits.
    Anew is a platform designed to close that gap. It combines a 3D body scan with a self-led
    sensitivity map: a survivor marks her own areas of pain, numbness, or scarring in her own
    words, and Anew turns both into personalised product recommendations, with a fitting
    specialist confirming the final choice. It can also serve as a tool to show hospital staff
    exactly what survivors are struggling with, so survivors feel more seen. Just as importantly,
    Anew also gives women a way to connect with others who have been through the same
    experience, through shared forums and one-to-one matching, addressing a need survivors
    describe just as often as the practical fitting problem: not wanting to go through this alone.
    That part of Anew echoes something FAWCO members will recognise immediately: the idea
    that a support network, women helping women, is not a side benefit but part of the solution
    itself.
    This presentation shares what co-design work directly with breast cancer survivors in the
    Netherlands has surfaced: what's already been tested and proven, what's still being
    validated in a current, final round of testing, and why a platform like this matters not just as
    a fitting tool, but as a form of support in its own right.
