Description

Do you know that every year 30.000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in Spain and only 25% of them survive? Most lung cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, stage 4. Only 20% of them survive. This happens because they don’t develop symptoms until an advanced stage. We have been working on a device called “Breath In Breath Out” to solve this global issue. With the ability of an ultra-high sensitivity sensor called MicroQuad that detects small particles from the breath of a person whenever someone has cancer, we’re enabling a big leap in cancer detection.
