Early diagnosis based on smell

Dear Sir or Madam,

When was the last time you had a screening appointment? After all, they serve the early detection of diseases and improve the prospects of recovery. For many diseases however, there are no methods yet that are sensitive enough early on and can be scaled to screen a large group of people. We could maybe change this by digitizing the sense of smell. Read in our current interview how this would not only support screening, but diagnostics overall.

Stay healthy!

Topic of the Month

Returning to a sport after injury can be demanding and arduous as athletes often need to undergo lengthy rehabilitation. Yet even after they have physically recovered from their injury, some may experience mental issues that can make it difficult to return to play and competition. Exercises that combine physical and mental training and challenges in a game setting can be an effective solution.

Digital nose facilitates early detection and diagnosis

Many diseases can be treated successfully if they are diagnosed early. Research into a "digital (electronic) nose" is one promising development to facilitate early detection and diagnosis. That’s because body odors and their molecular composition are an early indicator of various diseases that often remain undetected in the early stages.
