  >Any chance you might come out with a model that detects body odor or mouth odor? Very unlikely in the short to mid-term. While it would be possible to gather enough data to train the algorithms to detect mouth or body odours, our chemical analysers are not yet practical for hand-held use. We're working on that though. >do you already have in place a policy to avoid accidentally advertising a cancer cure in the UK (which is illegal)? We're developing a lung cancer screening test meant to be administered in a primary or secondary point of care, so it's not something that could be advertised as a cancer cure. Even if our test came back as positive, the patient would be referred for a CT scan or similar. The idea is to have a non-invasive test to increase the compliance rate and detect the cancer earlier. That alone increases the chance of survival quite dramatically.

    Interesting. I'd imagine that you could make a killing off of the personal hygiene market and use that as a source of funding for the medical applications.
