Description:
|
This project is centered on the development of a novel medical device and an accompanying data analysis program designed to detect diseases noninvasively through the analysis of patients’ breath. The research encompasses the design and engineering of the original device, field surveys conducted at hospitals and clinics, direct engagement with healthcare providers and patients, and the development of advanced data-processing algorithms. The objective is to create a cost-effective, painless, time-efficient, easily accessible, and mobile diagnostic tool. By enabling noninvasive and rapid disease detection, the device aims to expand access to quality healthcare in underserved areas with limited or no access to medical facilities, while also streamlining diagnostic procedures for broader use in clinical environments. |
