- AI nose uses 'Smell Language Model' to sniff out signs of disease
Ainos, an AI and biotech company, is collaborating with National Taiwan University to develop an AI Nose system that analyzes volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath to detect diseases like acute exacerbation of COPD and acute decompensated heart failure. The technology uses MEMS sensors and a proprietary Smell Language Model to interpret breath-based scent patterns.
