OruNose™ – an electronic nose for medical applications

Researchers at Örebro University have developed an electronic nose to help detect blood poisoning (also known as sepsis), a potentially life-threatening condition. The method developed is based on proven sensor technology, shortens the analysis process significantly and provides very accurate test results. Clinical tests at Örebro University Hospital analysed thousands of samples, including different blood types and 15 of the bacteria that can cause sepsis. The study has shown excellent results.
