The University of Huddersfield developed a breathalyzer device that they plan to trial at pharmacies in the UK. The device detects any type of disease that is present in the lungs. The patient just needs to breathe and into the breathalyzer and the device will be able to detect if any disease is present in the patient's lungs.
The breathalyzer is built with carbon sensors which sense chemicals in a person's breath. These chemicals are what detects if there is a problem in a person's lungs. What is unique about this device however is that it is capable of detecting the disease in its early stages.
Although the person may not be demonstrating any symptoms, by simply breathing into the device they will be notified if they have an illness developing in their body. This is the goal that the developers had for this device. And after 3 years of working towards that goal, they were able to build the breathalyzer that can detect lung cancer before it is too late.
