Breath-Based Detection Device for Drug Consumption

Source

Source summary

Prototype a handheld, noninvasive breath-based drug screen using electrochemical or equivalent accessible sensors. Seek rapid positive, negative or inconclusive outputs usable by minimally trained field personnel, with documented sensing and accuracy on a supplied/self-generated test set. The source explicitly limits the deliverable to technical proof of concept: forensic validation or field certification is not expected at the hackathon.
