Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a mouthpiece for use with an electronic analyzer for breath analyte detection in an individual. The mouthpiece includes a biosensor and a hydration system. The biosensor includes a chemically active area where a chemical reaction takes place and the hydration system delivers a liquid to the chemically active area of the biosensor to at least one of enhance, enable, and facilitate the chemical reaction. The mouthpiece further includes hardware to transmit breath analyte data.
Claims21
A mouthpiece for use with an electronic analyzer for breath analyte detection in an individual, the mouthpiece comprising:
- a biosensor that detects breath analytes, the biosensor including a chemically active area where a chemical reaction takes place;
- a hydration system that delivers a liquid to the chemically active area of the biosensor to at least one of enhance, enable, and facilitate the chemical reaction;
- and
- hardware that transmits breath analyte data to the electronic analyzer.
A breath analyte detection system comprising:
- A mouthpiece including a biosensor capable of detecting breath analytes, the biosensor including a chemically active area where a chemical reaction takes place;
- a hydration system providing liquid to the chemically active area of the biosensor to at least one of enhance, enable, and facilitate the chemical reaction;
- hardware to transmit breath analyte data;
- and
- a portable electronic device capable of receiving the breath analyte data, the portable electronic device capable of at least one of storing, analyzing, and transmitting the breath analyte data.
A mouthpiece for use with an electronic analyzer for analyte detection, the mouthpiece comprising:
- a biosensor including a chemically active area where a chemical reaction takes place, the biosensor capable of detecting analytes in at least one of breath, saliva, urine, eye vapor, milk and blood;
- and
- a hydration system providing liquid to the chemically active area of the biosensor to at least one of enhance, enable, and facilitate the chemical reaction.
A mouthpiece for use in breath analyte detection, the mouthpiece comprising:
- a biosensor capable of detecting breath analytes, the biosensor including a chemically active area where a chemical reaction takes place;
- a hydration system providing liquid to the chemically active area of the biosensor to at least one of enhance, enable, and facilitate the chemical reaction;
- an additional sensor capable of detecting additional parameters;
- and
- hardware to transmit breath analyte data and the additional parameters.
