Abstract

Significant effort has been made in the development of an artificial nose system for various applications. Advances in sensor technology have facilitated the development of high-performance electronic and bioelectronic noses. Numerous articles describe the advantages of artificial nose systems for biomedical applications. Recent advances in the development of electronic and bioelectronic noses and their biomedical applications are reviewed in this article.
