    摘要: The systems and methods described herein can advantageously allow users to discretely measure their exhaled breath in an easy, cost-effective and non-invasive manner. A handheld breath sensing system may be provided with a main housing, a first mouthpiece, a lid, a sampling chamber, a sensor and a microprocessor. The first mouthpiece may be configured to allow a user to exhale into the mouthpiece. The lid may be movable between an open position and a closed position. The sampling chamber may be in fluid communication with the first mouthpiece. The sensor may be in fluid communication with the sampling chamber and configured to measure at least one property of a user's breath. The microprocessor may be configured to process electronic signals from the sensor such that at least one volatile organic compound in the user's breath can be quantified and a resulting biomarker measurement provided to the user in near real-time.

    摘要: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of a physiological abnormality resulting in detectable, measurable variations in contents of breathed air. The system includes a handheld unit defining an airway, wherein the airway includes a plurality of sensors adapted to measure a plurality of parameters related to the presence of a physiological abnormality. The system further includes a control unit remotely connected to the handheld unit. The control unit includes a controller adapted to receive input signals from the handheld unit and remit output signals in response thereto. The output signals are usable by a user in determining the presence or absence of a physiological abnormality. The control unit further also can include a display adapted to display the output signals to a user thereby easing the determination of the physiological abnormality. The system further includes a mouthpiece selectively connectable to the handheld unit. The mouthpiece can include a filter adapted to substantially prohibit the passage of germs into the airway of the handheld unit.
