Comment on Los Alamos is building a "breath profile" to detect disease non-invasively

Comments

Really interesting idea. But breathomics seems tricky — breath signatures can shift with diet, time of day, stress, exercise, even the room you’re in. How do you think a stable baseline could be built across people (or even within one person) without very tight controls? Could this avoid the pitfalls that stalled other non-invasive diagnostics like urine or saliva tests?
