The Electronic Nose: Artificial Olfaction Technology

Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering ((BIOMEDICAL))

Abstract

In recent years, electronic noses (E-nose) have been commonly used in a range of fields such as quality control of foods and beverages, public safety, air protection, and medical applications. A key advance in information and gas sensor technology could improve the diagnostic power of future bio-electronic noses and facilitate global supervision models of disease control and management. This chapter presents a review of E-nose applications in various industries and discusses case studies related to the development of the E-nose system for disease diagnosis.
