Bengaluru, June 2 -- In a unique blend of biology and artificial intelligence, a Bengaluru-based startup is using trained dogs and AI technology to help detect cancer at an early stage through human breath samples -- an innovation that could make cancer screening faster, cheaper and more accessible.

The startup, Dognosis, is combining the extraordinary smelling ability of dogs with AI-powered analysis to identify chemical compounds linked to cancer.

Doctors associated with the project say the technology has shown promising results in early trials.

"I have been working with diagnosis for the past year now, and it's a very interesting concept because it allows for an early, easy and inexpensive way of detecting cancers," said oncologist ...
