Swiss researchers advance "breathprinting" for health checks

Swiss researchers have used mass spectrometry to test a diagnostic method based on breath ...

Traditional Chinese medicine has long analyzed breath as a way to assess human health and in recent times state-of-the-art technology has been brought to this approach to diagnose various diseases and even stress. Swiss researchers at ETH Zurich and at the University Hospital Zurich are continuing to advance this field by developing a "breathprinting" technique using mass spectrometry that they hope will become competitive with the established analysis methods based on blood and urine...
