Imagine a push notification to your phone that says you have a 82% chance of having hepatitis or something.
Do you think that could ever be a reality?
I'm working on molecular models for complex perfume models.

Given them mentions of cancer in this thread, do you already have in place a policy to avoid accidentally advertising a cancer cure in the UK (which is illegal)?
Very unlikely in the short to mid-term. While it would be possible to gather enough data to train the algorithms to detect mouth or body odours, our chemical analysers are not yet practical for hand-held use. We're working on that though.

We're developing a lung cancer screening test meant to be administered in a primary or secondary point of care, so it's not something that could be advertised as a cancer cure. Even if our test came back as positive, the patient would be referred for a CT scan or similar. The idea is to have a non-invasive test to increase the compliance rate and detect the cancer earlier. That alone increases the chance of survival quite dramatically.
