Description
Summary:This Editorial provides summaries and an overview of research and review articles published in the Sensors journal, volumes 21 (2021), 22 (2022), and 23 (2023), within the biomedical Special Issue “Portable Electronic-Nose Devices for Noninvasive Early Disease Detection”, which focused on recent sensors, biosensors, and clinical instruments developed for noninvasive early detection and diagnosis of human and animal diseases. The ten articles published in this Special Issue provide new information associated with recent electronic-nose (e-nose) and related volatile organic compound (VOC)-detection technologies developed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of diagnostic methodologies for early disease detection prior to symptom development. For review purposes, the summarized articles were placed into three broad groupings or topic areas, including veterinary-wildlife pathology, human clinical pathology, and the detection of dietary effects on VOC emissions. These specified categories were used to define sectional headings devoted to related research studies with a commonality based on a particular disease being investigated or type of analytical instrument used in analyses.
