Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
St. Clair College
$25,000.00
Development of a breath volume measurement system for breath analyzer
FY 2019-20
Summary
Breath analyzers have significant potential as non-invasive medical diagnosis tools, however, their use is limited because of their inability to accurately measure breath volume - required to report concentrations of volatile compounds of interest that are used for diagnostic purposes. The proposed project will design, develop, and test a breath volume measurement system that can attach to commercially available breath analyzers. Project outcomes will open a new market for the industry partner and provide students with unique industry-relevant and practical experience.
