Applied Nano Detectors Develop Chip That Can Detect Diseases from Our Breath


It sounds like a science fiction. But a report from TechRadar gives us hope that perhaps within one or two years, we will have a cellphone that can detect whether you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other diseases, through your breath.

Applied Nano Detectors has finally devised a chip that can be installed into a cellphone. The chip can detect your breath and conclude what kind of diseases you have. There will be an air hole in the phone which you can blow into, and you're done.

Moreover, the chip can send automatic notification to your doctor about the disease you have. Though, there will be privacy issues here, but it is surely helpful for elderly or kids to notify their doctors about this.

Nokia is already on a talk with Applied Nano Detectors. Let's hope this device will materialize and marketed soon!
