Exhaled Breath Analysis: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives

Exhaled Breath Analysis: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives presents the exhaled breath analysis process, starting with the fundamentals and background, moving to current approaches and applications, and concludes with challenges the field faces, along with the future outlook. The exhaled breath analysis process (EBAP) is dynamically changing, resulting in hard to follow research and conference papers, very often not covering the actual process. The book informs the reader on how to prepare research in the field, how to design the measurement protocol, and how to use biomarkers for analyzation, as well as the applications available for clinical practice.

Primarily written for biomedical engineers and medical doctors, the book is also useful for hospital technicians, as well as those in PhD level Medicine and Engineering courses.

• Presents the full scope of the exhaled breath analysis process
• Provides updated information on a now clinically accepted diagnostic method
• Paves the way for further research activities in this field

Artur Rydosz received his degrees in electronics engineering from the AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. In 2019 he obtained D.Sc. degree and since 2023 is a full professor at the Institute of Electronics AGH. His current research interests include gas sensors and organ-on-a-chip platforms. He's also interested in the PVD method of the fabrication of various sensing materials with a special emphasis on the detection of volatile organic compounds in exhaled human breath, for example, as a potential tool for the noninvasive measurement of several diseases, such as diabetes; as well as metallic layers for SPR-based sensors for gas-sensing and bio-sensing applications. Prof. Rydosz serves as the Vice-Chair of the Joint Chapter AP03/AES10/MTT17, IEEE Poland Section and is the Head of the Biomarkers Analysis LAB. In 2022, his book entitled Diabetes Without Needles (Elsevier) was published.
