Researchers at UC Ivine have developed a low-cost, disposable breath analysis nanotechnology device for people with cystic fibrosis. The device sends data to a smartphone in the event of a lung infection. The device can detect tiny quantities of infection in a small sample of breath. The device can also potentially detect air pollution.
The primary aim of the device is as an early warning sign for people with cystic fibrosis to seek immediate treatment and thereby prevent permanent damage occurring to their lungs. At present, only a prototype has been built. The developers are working out how to create a device that can be produced on a commercial scale.
