The conceptual 'Home Breath Analysis' device has been designed by Lucas Couto as a device for consumers to use from the comfort of their own home that is both advanced, approachable and effective. The device maintains a pebble-like design that is friendly and inviting, and works by being breathed into by the user to detect for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as other aerosols that are related to various health ailments. The non-medical construction of the device means it could be easily left out in the open in the home and used on a regular basis thanks to its approachable design.
The conceptual 'Home Breath Analysis' device would relay data collected to the accompanying smartphone app, which could then be relayed to a healthcare practitioner, if desired or required.
