They say it could be transformative for disease detection, patient monitoring, and biomedical research.
“A blood test is great, but it can’t tell you, for example, whether insulin or glucose levels are increasing or decreasing in a patient.”
For even the most routine of medical checkups, a blood test is often the first order of business. But, for all its diagnostic power, this common test provides only a snapshot of the blood during a single moment in time.
“A blood test is great, but it can’t tell you, for example, whether insulin or glucose levels are increasing or decreasing in a patient,” says Tom Soh, a professor of electrical engineering and of radiology at Stanford University. “Knowing the direction of change is important.”

People who used the device daily for three months while on a strict diet shed twice as much weight as a second group, who dieted alone.
They also ate fewer sweets, and drank fewer soft drinks and less alcohol, according to a new study in the journal Obesity Facts.
It is thought that by directing air that’s inhaled through the nostrils away from the smell centre of the nose, the 2.5cm-long hollow tube prevents smells from stimulating appetite.
