Can dogs sniff cancer? AI joins the hunt in India
When rescue dog Chloe is not tumbling across the grass on a farm outside India's tech capital, Bengaluru, she is learning to sniff human breath for cancer with a little help from AI.
AI Summary
Rescue dog Chloe, trained on a farm near Bengaluru, is being taught to detect cancer by sniffing human breath. She wears a 3‑D‑printed helmet and harness that contain sensors, allowing researchers to record her olfactory responses. The project is part of experimental work that aims to turn dogs’ keen sense of smell into a noninvasive cancer test. The data collected by the sensors will be used to develop an AI system that can interpret the dogs’ detections.
