Imagine the future of emerging scent technologies with us…
Subject and its Importance
The olfaction revolution is around the corner. The technology is here, we need to extend our anticipation of what it may affect when in use. Everything from day to day detection of disease, emotion and certain thought patterns may be affected.
Inspired by the abilities of for example ‘Medical Detection Dogs’ in Milton Keynes UK, to detect cancers, pre-cancerous conditions, prostate cancer, Covid and the many other indicative scents of disease and conditions given off by the body, the way the oldest of the senses functions, will be transitioning to personal technological devices on a mass scale. Until now this has resulted in stand alone, or specific function devices. Now however it will become a reality that multi-detection is possible 24/7 within your phone.
We need to think not only how we will use this technology, but also what we will do with the data generated, and make sure that we will own our scent data.
