Dognosis pairs trained sniffer dogs with artificial intelligence to flag cancer from a breath sample. It is a charming idea aimed at a real problem, with equally real caveats: this is prescreening in trials, not a proven diagnostic. A dog’s nose has long outclassed most laboratory kit, and a two-year-old Bengaluru startup called Dognosis is […]
