- Additional information
- Obesity is a major issue in society today and control based on calorie count is a crude method. Here we develop a technology to detect human metabolic rate through breath analysis. The output reports the development of an electronic nose for breath analysis that can measure expiration gases and calculate an individual's energy expenditure. This has led to an EPSRC grant (EP/S030247/1, £500k) on developing the technology in collaboration with University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. Vincent (first author) now works in UK spin-out company (Cambridge CMOS Sensors Ltd) developing the technology.
