Breath Analysis: State-of-the-Art Research for Diagnosis and Technology Design

Breath analysis is a promising diagnostic tool for various respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD). This book, authored by Giorgio Pennazza, presents the latest research in breath analysis, providing guidance on the optimal design of technology and conducting analysis.

Reliability and Consistency in Breath Analysis Results

The accuracy and reliability of breath analysis results depend on three crucial factors: exhaled breath sampling procedures and tools, gas sensor array technology (sensing material and transducer), and medical pertinence and interpretation. This book offers step-by-step procedures and best practice solutions for overcoming common challenges in sample collection, sensor technology, clinical assessment, medical interpretation, and data analysis.

Target Audience: Biomedical Engineers, Medical Doctors, and Healthcare Professionals

This comprehensive guide is primarily intended for biomedical engineers and medical doctors. However, hospital technicians, hospital and biomedical SME leading figures, and PhD-level students in Engineering and Medicine will also benefit from this valuable resource.
