The world stands at the threshold of a new era: determining your health based on your breath
INTRODUCING: THE HUMAN BREATH ATLAS
Our goal is to map each molecule in our breath to our health status.
Why now?
1.
Technologies
We now have instruments that can reliably detect very rare metabolites in breath and other body odors.
2.
Data Analysis
We have software and data analysis tools to analyze signals generated by these sensitive instruments, and to distinguish true signal from noise and background.
3.
Data Libraries
We can capture and store some breath components for years to decades for later reanalysis.
4.
Innovation
Innovations in technology and statistics have dramatically reduced the cost of observational trials like the Framingham Study and the UK Biobank.
