Electronics Capable of Sensing Trace VOCs and the Future of Patient Diagnostics
(Amherst, NH) – The continued evolution of microelectronics and advances in noise reduction and signal processing are paving the way toward sensing systems that can recognize trace levels of volatile organic compounds at the parts-per-billion level. By linking these devices to digital libraries and employing pattern recognition software, these devices have the potential to detect the presence of biomarkers in exhaled breath and the gaseous phase of bodily fluids to provide a first-order indication of the presence of a disease or treatable condition noninvasively.Diagnostic devices in this class include traditional sensing technologies as well as advanced detection approaches employing coated nanostructures. Because of the complexity of the sample stream, a number of challenges remain, including the need to identify one or a few targeted molecule types in a background of hundreds of unrelated chemicals. But working from work conducted over the past thirty years researchers and device developers are advancing biomarkers for about a dozen important diseases. These diagnostic targets are the subject of ongoing testing and device refinement.
Currently, electronic nose devices – devices capable of detecting one or more volatile organic compounds in the gaseous state - are being developed and/or tested for diseases and conditions in a dozen therapeutic areas. This work includes about twenty active clinical trials. While only a few devices are now being marketed, we expect between six and nine commercial devices for specific diseases markers to be receive regulatory market approval during the remainder of this decade.
These developments are examined in a new and comprehensive report written and researched by Greystone Research Associates. Noninvasive Diagnostic Markets for Electronic Nose Devices includes technology analysis, device assessments, market data and forecasts, and market sector participant profiles.
