Dognosis builds "olfaction AI" that pairs trained biomedical detection dogs with a non-invasive canine brain-computer interface and machine learning to identify disease-associated volatile organic compounds in breath samples. Its breath-based screening is aimed at early, multi-cancer detection and produces a VOC risk score for clinicians.
