- Additional information
- We introduce a pioneering approach to capturing and interpreting canine olfactory stimulus responses to pathogens. A sensor-enabled computer system records and visualises the duration and intensity of bio-detection dogs’ interaction with biological samples. Published in the leading HCI conference, ACM CHI2015 (acceptance rate 24.8%), the technology has been demonstrated at science festivals (e.g. Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition) and at Buckingham Palace (to Queen Elizabeth II). It is informing pioneering bio-detection technology with leading UK charity Medical Detection Dogs, who are using our prototype and whose CEO (details on request) stated it will “revolutionise cancer detection with dogs”.
