Central theme of this project is based on detection of exhale breath acetone, bio-marker for diabetes. The exhale breath acetone concentration >2 ppm in breath is considered as diabetic. Accordingly, a gas sensor has been developed based on ternary nanocomposites which can detect trace acetone of exhale breath for monitoring diabetes non-invasively. A handheld, cost effective breath analyzer has been fabricated in our laboratory to measure acetone by analyzing exhale breath. Results are being compared with GC-MS to validate the device.
