Though these previous projects have shown promise, it is only now that our ability to make highly sensitive gas analysis instruments and sensors makes it a real possibility to bring this to the wider public. However, to be able to develop such sensors and sensor systems, the investigators need to identify the specific chemical biomarkers in the breath to detect and measure. At this point in time, there is no such definitive list of biomarkers (potential or otherwise) for all possible disease groups. In addition, where there are proposed markers, there is no agreement in the field on what these are.
