Abstract
Systems and methods for diagnosing a condition in an individual by analyzing the individual's breath are provided. Sensors may be configured to capture data associated with the breath of an individual. The data captured by the sensors may include a change in resistance measurements recorded by solid-state sensors when the sensors are exposed to the individual's breath at several different temperatures. This captured data may be analyzed to identify one or more volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers in the individual's breath. Based on the identified VOC biomarkers, a condition associated with the individual may be determined. For example, a medical condition, or a condition of drowsiness or fatigue associated with the individual may be determined based on the VOC biomarkers in the individual's breath. In some examples, the sensors may be positioned inside a vehicle for determination of condition associated with a driver of the vehicle.
