Abstract

The presented diagnostic - a protease cleavable sensor is administered in a chewing gum. Once it comes in contact with patient’s saliva, containing inflammation enzymes, a taste sensation is produced. The patient tastes the presence of inflammation and can tell his doctor about it. The presented diagnostic system can be applied without any power supply anywhere by anybody, at any time - a new dimension of rapid diagnostics.
