Exhaled breath testing is becoming an increasingly important non-invasive diagnostic method that can be used in the evaluation of health and disease states in the lung and beyond. Potential advantages of breath tests over other conventional medical tests include their non-invasive nature, low cost, and safety. To advance in this area further, however, there has to be a close collaboration between technical experts and engineers who have devices looking for clinical application(s), the medical experts who have the clinical problems looking for a test/biomarker that can be helpful in diagnosis or monitoring, and industry/commercial experts who can build and commercialize the final product.

呼气测试正在成为一种越来越重要的非侵入性诊断方法，可用于评估肺部及其他部位的健康和疾病状态。与其他传统医学测试相比，呼气测试的潜在优势包括其非侵入性、低成本和安全性。然而，为了在这一领域取得进一步进展，技术专家和工程师之间必须密切合作，他们拥有寻求临床应用的设备，而医学专家则有临床问题，寻找可以提供帮助的测试/生物标记物。诊断或监测领域的专家，以及能够构建最终产品并将其商业化的工业/商业专家。
