How is it that a breathalyzer can measure the alcohol content in someone's blood, hours after they had their last drink, based on their breath alone? And could we use this same technology to detect disease by analyzing a person's breath, without having to use more invasive diagnostic tools like biopsies, blood draws, and radiation? Julian Burschka details the complicated process. [Directed by Cabong Studios, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Matheus Wittmann].

Julian Burschka: Could a breathalyzer detect cancer?

Could a breathalyzer detect cancer?

A breathalyzer's ability to detect blood alcohol levels from breath reveals the potential for non-invasive disease detection.

Identifying diseases through breath analysis requires discerning subtle changes in volatile organic compounds, a complex challenge.

Breathalyzers for disease detection could revolutionize diagnostics, yet complexities in breath compound analysis remain.
