Detecting diseases through body odor? New laser technology shows potential for non-invasive diagnostics
Researchers from Fraunhofer IIS and the Technical University of Dresden tested laser-based photoacoustic spectroscopy to detect disease-related compounds in body swabs. An initial study found differences between samples from healthy people and those with Parkinson’s disease, COVID-19, and other illnesses, suggesting potential for preliminary non-invasive screening.
