BREATH-BASED MULTI-GAS ANALYZER FOR NON-INVASIVE HEALTH SCREENING AND METABOLIC ASSESSMENT

Abstract

The development and application of breath analysis sensors for detecting key biomarkers, including acetone, carbon dioxide (CO2), isoprene and ammonia, in exhaled air. The increasing interest in non-invasive diagnostic methods has highlighted the potential of breath analysis as a valuable tool for monitoring metabolic and respiratory health. This research utilizes a various types of sensor array, which is capable of identifying specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with various physiological conditions. Through a systematic evaluation of sensor performance, including sensitivity, selectivity, and response time, the study demonstrates the ability of these sensors to accurately detect and quantify the concentration of each target biomarker. The results indicate that elevated levels of acetone may correlate with diabetes, while changes in CO2 levels can reflect respiratory function. Additionally, the presence of isoprene may indicate metabolic activity, and ammonia levels can provide insights into kidney and liver health. The integration of these sensors into a breath analysis device holds promise for real-time health monitoring, enabling early diagnosis and management of various medical conditions. This research contributes to the growing field of non-invasive diagnostics, offering a novel approach to health assessment through the analysis of exhaled breath. The focus of future work will be on improving sensor accuracy and creating interfaces that are user-friendly for clinical and personal health applications.
