Establishing Healthy Breath Baselines With Tin Oxide Sensors: Fundamental Building Blocks for Noninvasive Health Monitoring
The current study sought to qualify healthy baselines of VOCs in exhaled breath using a MOX sensor array that can be leveraged in the future to detect medical conditions relevant to warfighter health. For example, the results of the study will be useful, as the healthy breath VOC data from the sensor array can be cross-referenced in future studies aiming to use the device to distinguish disease states. Ultimately, the sensors may be integrated into a portable breathalyzer or current military gear to increase warfighter readiness through rapid and noninvasive health monitoring.
