Briefing

  • AI-Driven Solution to Diagnose Diseases – Engineers, sensor companies, and academic researchers using artificial intelligence combined with great amounts of data for quick, reliable, and noninvasive diagnoses of different diseases
  • Patient’s Scent – Modern medical research validates that scent of patient’s skin, breath and body fluids can be used for diagnosis
  • Companies Involved – Include chemical sensor manufacturer Owlstone introducing own medical sensor with emphasis on cancer detection, and Monell Chemical Senses Center teaming up with University of Pennyslvania researchers to work on prototype odor sensor that detects ovarian cancer from blood plasma
  • Other Approaches – Some researchers also began to develop own sensors, relying on single-strand DNA that latches onto odor particles
