I guess you have all seen many prototypes like this, the Prototypes that can tell many things about your health just by monitoring your Breath. However this prototype by Nokia is much different and useful as you don’t have to carry any extra gadget with you, the Handset alone will do the job.

Disease Checking Cell phone by Nokia, First of its Kind.

The Handset measure the composition of variou gases in your breathe and compares it with that of various diseases and tell you if you are ill or not. Applied Nanodetectors Ltd (AND) of the UK successfully rolled out a prototyped cell phone which was specially developed to detect a range of diseases, all from the user’s breath. It was being paraded at the International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference 2009.

How Does it work?

the cell phone will come with an integrated AND chip that uses built-in sensors in order to detect a bunch of gases including CO2, NOx and ammonia (NH3). This chip is smart enough to break down the composition of the user’s breath, while tabulating the density of each gas. Results are matched with the characteristics of various diseases in order to detect them, making the matching process akin to fingerprint matching.

Now that we have this gadgets at hand, we will be able to treat maximum number of disesases at the right time with neccessary ailment and hence this will decrease overall Disease count. Quite cool, isn’t it?
