Nokia N95 prototype cell phone to detect diseases by analyzing breath
Nokia N95 prototype cell phone
Applied Nanodetectors Ltd (AND) of the UK has successfully rolled out a prototyped cell phone which was specially developed to detect a range of diseases, all from the user’s breath. Said phone is actually a Nokia N95 prototype which comes with an integrated AND chip that uses built-in sensors in order to detect a bunch of gases including CO2, NOx and ammonia (NH3). This chip is smart enough to break down the composition of the user’s breath, while tabulating the density of each gas. Results are matched with the characteristics of various diseases in order to detect them, making the matching process akin to fingerprint matching. The British company says that it intends to market its new mobile product via Japanese carriers, as well as in Europe, with Nokia’s help. However, there are no exact details about when this will happen, and neither about the price of AND’s chip.
