SAM3 Expertise Areas: Smell Sensing and Electronic Noises
Electronic nose technology can allow for the assessment of well-being and specifically aspects of ADLs and nutrition. SAM3 researchers have applied smell sensors to various well-being assessments:
Application areas
- Food spoilage detection
- Kitchen safety
- Hygiene
