Breath-Based Detection and Analysis

Harnessing the data in VOCs

BOYDSense is developing small, portable devices to non-invasively measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

VOCs are a large group of carbon-based molecules that are in a gas phase at room temperature. These molecules are everywhere: in the food and beverages we consume, in the air we breathe, and in the breath we exhale. Molecules in our breath carry a wealth of information about our bodies and our biology.

Analyzing and Informing

We are developing advanced technologies that capture, identify and analyze molecule prints, then use predictive algorithms and sensors tuned to extract biosignatures from breath. By delivering near-real time information to consumers, they are empowered to take their health and well being into their own hands.
