How Nanostructures Could Replace Invasive Blood Sugar Monitoring

Human breath monitoring is a quick and non-invasive method for identifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetone, which may be markers of different diseases. A new article published in the journal Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing presents a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in semiconductor metal oxide (SMO) gas detectors for identifying expelled acetone, which could help to replace invasive blood sugar monitoring.
