Abstract

In this work we developed an add-on system for expanding the sensing capabilities of an existing com- mercial E-Nose used for breath analysis aiming at pneumonia diagnosis. The system integrates three sensing modules with analog fixed-temperature metal-oxide gas sensors and temperature-modulated digital sensors. Module-specific machine-learning models were developed to compare their ability to discriminate pneumonia from healthy controls. The platform enables breath measurements with different sensing modules and future data fusion studies.
