Electronic nose technology is being developed in order to identify aromas in a way parallel to the biologic olfaction. When applied to the field of medicine, such device should be able to identify and discriminate between different diseases. In recent years this kind of approach finds application in medical diagnostics, and especially in disease screening. Despite the fact that devices utilizing chemical sensor arrays are not routinely used in everyday medical practice, their prospective use would solve some established issues in healthcare. It would also find application in prophylactics by facilitating a widespread deployment of screening tests. In this review the comprehensive summary of research in medical diagnostics using electronic noses is presented. A special attention has been paid to application of these devices and sensor technologies, in response to current trends in medicine.
