Cell phone checks if you have cancer by checking your breath

Can’t say I saw this coming. Applied Nanodetectors (AND) showed off a modified Nokia handset that can analyze your breath to tell if you have diseases. You read that right. A cell phone that plays doctor.

AND makes a chip that fits within a cell phone. When you breathe into the a sensor on the phone, the chip can determine concentrations of gasses. With this information, AND claims that they can detect things like how sauced you are, if you have diabetes, or even lung cancer.
