Abstract

Halitosis is also termed as chronic bad breath. The major cause is diabetics mellitus. The doctor often must take two tests to differentiate between ketoacidosis and halitosis. The difference between these two are ketoacidosis has acetone and ketone bodies has biomarker whereas halitosis has volatile Sulphur compounds. Designing a breath analyser with raspberry pi which as inbuilt IoT to transfer the measured readings to open source cloud and in mobile app. Through this simple device the physicians is always connected to the patient and able to monitor the subject.
