  • Exhaled breath hypoxia biomarkers
    Patent number: 11813051
    Abstract: A method of detecting hypoxia. Detecting hypoxia includes detecting, in exhaled breath, at least one indicator for hypoxia. The at least one indicator is selected from the group consisting of pentanal, 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 2-cyclopenten-1-one, and 4-butyrolactone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force
    Inventors: Sean W. Harshman, Brian A. Geier, Claude C. Gigsby, Jeffrey B. Phillips, Darrin K. Ott
  • IDENTIFICATION, QUANTITATION AND ANALYSIS OF UNIQUE BIOMARKERS IN SWEAT
    Publication number: 20230165488
    Abstract: A biomarker diagnostic system includes a sensor to collect a sweat sample from a biological subject; a processor operatively connected to the sensor, wherein the processor is configured to perform metabolic and proteomic profiling of biomarkers in the sweat sample. The metabolic and proteomic profile is compared to a predetermined profile of the biomarkers and to determine a physiological status of the biomarkers. The system further includes a feedback unit operatively coupled to the sensor and the processor and configured to output physiological performance data based on the physiological status.
    Type: Application
