The Breathmeter was featured on the Medical Breakthrough page of Prevention as a way to "help your doctor assess levels of inflammation in your airways and prescribe the best dose of asthma-controlling medications."

"There's a lot of good science behind these tests, when we start to see even more, this whole thing is going to snowball."

NEW LIGHT ON ASTHMA

Diagnosing asthma in children is a challenge. But, now engineers and pediatricians are testing a new tool that could make diagnosis a lot more accurate.

Ekips Technologies, Inc., announced today Robert A. Floyd, Ph.D., and Mark A. Camp, M.D., have joined the company's scientific advisory board.

Now that we know the fate of the General Motors plant in Oklahoma City, I propose we take the generous offer for a $200 million bond issue ($91,000 per local GM job) to retool the Oklahoma City plant and apply it to a model that has proven successful in generating excellent-paying jobs and boosting a long-term, viable industry for Oklahoma.

"...two chips can talk to each other through an optical link, so the signals don't have to go through the motherboard."

"...we present an eNO breath-analysis system that overcomes the limiting factors of TDLAS..."

Dr. Patrick McCann discusses the Breathmeter on CNET Radio.

Ekips has developed a diagnostic system that uses tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy to noninvasively detect and monitor diseases

The precise measurements provided by McCann's instrument might help doctors evaluate airway inflammation

A US company developing a laser-based system for asthma diagnosis has received a cash boost to support clinical trials.

National Science Foundation supports continued development of laser-based breath analyzer technology

A laser chip - similar to the laser chip used in commercial DVD players - may soon lead to accurate diagnosis and monitoring of airway inflammation in asthma patients

The Breathmeter is the first laser-based breath analyzer to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.

Biphotonics says the Breathmeter^TM could offer a solution to laser Spectroscopy's currently limited clinical use.

A device known as a laser spectrometer can sniff out explosive chemicals or poison gas within a mile of a building

Ekips Technologies is developing a tunable diode laser-absorption spectrometer.

The device is used to "sniff out" crime scenes, determining whether, say, a suspect handled chemicals used to make a bomb or had contact with someone wearing a particular brand of perfume.

Research team looks for chemical compounds in human breath that can be detected by Ekips Breathmeter^TM laser-based diagnosis technology

This small, remarkable diagnostic device will be kept at home and cost less than a kitchen appliance.
