Metal Oxide Gas Biomarkers of Diseases for Medical and Health Applications

Abstract

One of the most important directions of modern medicine is non-invasive diagnostics of the patient, based on the analysis of exhaled air in a special device. Data on the surveillance capabilities of various diseases in the allocation of specific gases are collected. The potential of various semiconductor chemical resistors made from metal oxide semiconductors to diagnose disease has been reviewed. Corresponding low-cost detectors are developed which can detect small concentrations of exhaled air.
