By regularly monitoring the concentration of exhaled trace gas chemicals in a patient’s breath it is possible to help asthma sufferers control their condition before they even develop any symptoms.
Breath analysis can be used as a point of care diagnostic tool for disease management. Regular monitoring leads to more effective patient treatment and reduction of healthcare costs.
Mobile Health, supported by the use of mobile phones and other wireless devices improves the delivery of healthcare information to practitioners and real-time monitoring of patient vital signs.
Diagnostic testings improve the quality of healthcare provided and to reduce healthcare costs through shorter hospital visits and ensuring treatment is relevant and more cost-effective.
Dr. Victor Higgs of Applied Nanodetectors, has been invited to be a panel expert for the EUROPE wireless health ventures panel (http://www.in3london.com). Applied Nanodetectors developed the worlds first breath chip that could be used in various mobile platforms including mobile phone handsets.

Applied Nanodetectors exhibited last week at the Innovate 11 conference at the Business Design Centre in London. This was the Technology Strategy Board’s annual event which is focused on challenge-led and technology innovation. The key themes were health & wellbeing, high value manufacturing, agri-food, digital, energy, travel & transport and the built environment. We showcased out work on breath analysis for use as a point of care diagnostic for respiratory diseases, we were overwhelmed with interest about our sensor solution and we talked to close to 100 visitors about our recent research and development.
