Abstract

A method for determining the health condition of a subject using an olfactory sensor is provided. [Solution] The determination method involves acquiring response signals over time for a target analyte derived from a subject to be determined, detected using an olfactory sensor equipped with cells that have olfactory receptors and respond to odor molecules, and having a computer execute a process to determine the health condition of the subject to be determined based on a profile of the acquired response signals over time for the target analyte, a first profile obtained from the response signals over time for a analyte derived from a subject in good health, and a second profile obtained from the response signals over time for a analyte derived from a subject in poor health.
