How expensive would it be to make a machine that can smell if you or your clothes stink? I would pay at least $150 for that as a hard-of-smelling person. I would have far paid more back when I was single and lonely.

Wash them at least twice a year :) . Bad breath I can understand, you can't tell at times but clothes? Just wash them...
I work for Owlstone Medical as a software engineer, so ask me any questions and I'll try to answer as best I can. Also, we're hiring! https://www.owlstonemedical.com/about/careers/
I dream of a future where a sensor can detect from your urine/blood/bowel movement wether you have cancer or some disease. Imagine a push notification to your phone that says you have a 82% chance of having hepatitis or something. Do you think that could ever be a reality?
That would be great and totally possible. Disease changes your body and your kidneys, among other organs, will know it.

The real problem is replicating our olfactory system. It can detect millions of compounds (even undiscovered and new) and we still have competing theories on how it works. One involves quantum mechanics[1], which is very hard to replicate with our current level of manufacturing.

I hope you're joking. You should be washing them after 1 day of wearing, maybe even less.

Just ask your partner, they're usually pretty accurate!
Any chance you might come out with a model that detects body odor or mouth odor? Given them mentions of cancer in this thread, do you already have in place a policy to avoid accidentally advertising a cancer cure in the UK (which is illegal)?
>Any chance you might come out with a model that detects body odor or mouth odor? Very unlikely in the short to mid-term. While it would be possible to gather enough data to train the algorithms to detect mouth or body odours, our chemical analysers are not yet practical for hand-held use. We're working on that though. >do you already have in place a policy to avoid accidentally advertising a cancer cure in the UK (w…
Interesting. I'd imagine that you could make a killing off of the personal hygiene market and use that as a source of funding for the medical applications.

Half joking.
No, jeans don't need to be washed after every time. Nor do sweaters or jackets. Underwear, t-shirts and socks are different. This is my rule anyway
