Electronic Nose Created to Sniff Out Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The scientists who designed Moosy’s sensors are still increasing their capabilities, and the programmers responsible for the algorithms are still working on those, too. This means that Moosy 32 eNose will be able to detect a wider range of smells and know what each one means more accurately than the electronic nose was capable of even a month prior.

Perhaps there may even be household uses for this technology in the future. Scents are an important part of enjoying food; imagine cooking with something that could give you feedback into the taste of what you are making!

Not to mention that if this technology comes to homes, people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis could use it to track their disease, guiding them to manage their symptoms better than with intuition alone.
