How do we measure breath acetone and is it accurate? After three years of development, BIOSENSE™ manufacturer launched an FDA-registered tool that addresses the gap in non-invasive, clinical-grade ketone testing throughout the day – BIOSENSE™. I was excited to test this product and it did not disappoint. BIOSENSE™ is the official host of our International Scientific Poster Session at Metabolic Health Summit 2020, and we are proud to be partnered with them for our 4th Annual event.



The BIOSENSE™ breath acetone device employs a patent-pending deep lung sampling technique (last 5% of breath), where organic compounds (acetone) have a strong correlation to blood measurements (BHB). In controlled lab testing, BIOSENSE™ has demonstrate high accuracy because of its deep lung sampling. The company completed a clinical trial in October, 2019 with 19 participants and over 1,200 data points, representing over 70% of global research data points on the correlation between breath and blood ketones. This trial can be found here and will be presented at Metabolic Health Summit (MHS) this week. They are also publishing the study in a peer-reviewed journal soon. BIOSENSE™ also has a companion mobile app, and the company has plans to interface with other mobile apps in the area of fasting-tracking, keto-specific nutrition, and coaching. This technology is exciting because of the advantages offered by a non-invasive method of frequent ketone testing for both clinical use, and for personal interest.
