Abstract
Smart systems that can monitor a patient's health, assist in remote assessment by a health care provider, and improve the patient's quality of life with limited intrusion and decreased costs is one aspect of a more interconnected world composed of distributed intelligent systems. Breath analysis techniques offer a potential revolution in health care diagnostics, especially if portable breath monitoring systems that can be used outside of a clinical setting can be developed. This article provides a brief overview of the motivation for breath monitoring, possible components of portable breath monitoring systems, and provides an example of this approach.
