Device to sniff out stomach bugs could save health services millions Testing has begun on a device that can sniff out the presence of disease by smell, thanks to a £1.3 ($2.1) million award from the Wellcome Trust. OdoReader, developed by Chris Probert from the University of Bristol and Norman Ratcliffe from the University of the West of England, uses pioneering technology to rapidly diagnose Clostridium difficile, by "reading" the odor of stool samples. Clostridium difficile may cause severe diarrhea, especially amongst hospitalized patients.
