Check breast cancer like a drunk driving: a breath detector that can diagnose multiple diseases

Release date: 2017-08-03

When it comes to exhalation detectors, everyone will think of the traffic police to check the things used in drunk driving. For those who drunk, seeing the breath detector immediately won't be tempered. In fact, the gas exhaled by the human body has many characteristics. It can not only detect alcohol, but also reflect the health of the human body and detect some diseases. The breath detector described in this article can detect breast cancer, diabetes, lung cancer, Parkinson's disease, asthma, schizophrenia, kidney and liver failure. This article was compiled from an article originally published by WHIMN in the New York Post entitled "Breast Cancer might eventually be detected with a breathalyzer".

Breath detectors are often used to detect drunk driving and help maintain traffic safety.

Soon, a new type of breath detector will appear on the market, which will become smaller and more sensitive, but it is not used to detect drunk driving, but to detect physical illness.

According to ABC News, materials engineer Noushin Nasiri of the University of Technology in Sydney is currently working on the world's smallest respiratory detection sensor.

Born in Iran, Nasiri hopes to find the secret behind the smell of canines, because we know that dogs are very good at detecting changes in the human body. Her plan is to put professional software on a disk that can be plugged into a smartphone to analyze a person's breathing and tell them if they have detected any disease.

"Any change in your body produces a biomarker. Because of the high vapor pressure, biomarkers can come out of your body through your urine, sweat, tears, saliva or through breathing," Nasiri told ABC News.

Nasiri pointed out that cancer itself is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that it can't be detected late, so that it reaches the late stage.

In addition to breast cancer, other diseases that can be detected by breathing include diabetes, lung cancer, Parkinson's disease, asthma, schizophrenia, kidney and liver failure.

Nasiri believes that her breath detector will be put on the market within three years.

She said: "At this stage, our goal is to be able to find four to eight diseases, which is very difficult."

Her goal is to have the breath detector detect up to 10 diseases at a time and send the results through an app on the phone.
