Embodiment Construction

[0040] The onset of head injury or brain disease or abnormality may result in an increase and / or decrease in various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the subject's exhaled breath. Therefore, detection of VOCs and / or patterns associated therewith in a subject's exhaled breath can be of high diagnostic value to provide appropriate care and / or treatment. In some instances, VOCs and / or patterns associated therewith can be detected within minutes of injury occurring.

[0041]According to the embodiments herein, various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the exhaled breath of a subject can be detected to aid in the diagnosis of brain disorders (such as brain injuries, diseases or abnormalities) and / or as a basis for the treatment or care of such brain disorders. part of the method. In various embodiments, analysis of VOCs can be performed rapidly on-site (rather than just in a care facility). Accordingly, various embodiments herein may provide the opportunity to detect he...

Abstract

Embodiments herein include a method for detecting a brain condition in a subject. The method can include obtaining a breath sample from the subject and contacting it with a chemical sensor element, where the chemical sensor element includes a plurality of discrete graphene varactors. The method can include sensing and storing capacitance of the discrete graphene varactors to obtain a sample data set and classifying the sample data set into one or more preestablished brain condition classifications. Other embodiments are also included herein.
