Soon a smartphone attachment,when used in conjunction with an app,could detect any illness you may have. It will work on what the developers call 'sensory vapour technology'.
It is hoped that the research will result in an affordable,easy to carry detection system-ideally an advanced smartphone app.A doctor could carry around a smartphone and have patients breathe into its little attachment and be able to tell whether they have a communicable disease or not.
The detection system works by pushing a stream of air through a liquid,such as butanol,which results in bubbles that come up as a saturated vapour.This is then diluted and fed to a sensor chamber where the vapour is analysed and turned into raw data.From this data the scientists are able to work out the chemicals contained in the initial stream of air.
