• We all know that dogs are excellent sniffers.
  Dogs revolutionize disease diagnosis as this
  ability of theirs is used in many fields for
  different purposes, but how did dogs develop this
  great sense of smell? Dogs evolved from wolves
  over 10,000 years ago. Back in the hunting days,
  when wolves and dogs had to hunt for their food,
  it wasnt exactly easy for them to track down
  their dinner. As a result, their sense of
  hearing and their sense of smell evolved to
  become super strong, so that they could sniff out
  their prey when they were still or being very
  quiet. And as the days progressed, dogs served as
  sniffers for drug-sniffing, bomb detection. After
  the discovery that dogs can even smell illnesses
  in humans, theyve been used as medical service
  animals for a long while. For example, many dogs
  that are service animals can smell their humans
  drop in blood pressure or the release of
  seizure-inducing chemicals before their owner
  feints or before a seizure occurs.
• Within the last 15 years, diabetes alert dogs
  have become a revolutionary advancement. It all
  started as initial observations from patients
  that their pet dogs would begin to act
  differently, such as become more vocal, or nudge
  them, when their blood sugar dropped. While the
  dogs could be sensing changes in their owners
  behavior, the overall consensus among researchers
  in the field is that the dogs are actually
  sniffing chemical changes in their owners breath
  or sweat called volatile organic compounds
  (VOCs). In addition to diabetes, dogs
  revolutionize disease diagnosis has also been
  hyped by researchers, the media and organizations
  like Medical Detection Dog, as a diagnostic tool
  for a variety of cancers, including lung, breast,
  bladder, and prostate cancer. Various other types
  of diseases sniffed out by dogs are narcolepsy,
  migraines, low blood sugar, seizure, fear, and
  stress.

• Owners have also reported to scientists in the
  past that their pooch acted differently around
  them for a reason that the owner couldnt figure
  out. They reported crying, as well as sniffing or
  licking a certain area more than normal. When the
  owners got these areas checked out, many of them
  were cancerous, or had other things wrong with
  them! The more studies that are done, the more we
  find out the true capabilities of our woofers
  nose, and their ability to save lives.
• Sensor-based e-nose is the latest concept and
  developed by the idea of a dogs nose. The e-nose
  technology has promised a new horizon of no
  invasive method of disease identification using
  specific chemical disease biomarkers. The use of
  present e-noses is limited in discriminating the
  odors of different varieties of wine, beer, tea,
  coffee, tobacco and determining the freshness and
  quality of fish, fruits, and foods. However, the
  e-nose technology is expected to expand at a very
  rapid speed and will offer the futuristic
  diagnosis with ease of use, low operating costs,
  excellent precision, quick sensor recovery time,
  rapid results and response time, smaller with
  greater portability and large flexibility in
  sensor array specificity for selective and
  specialized applications.
