ASU invention helps people worldwide reach weight goals

Breezing, a device that analyzes peoples’ breath to reveal information about their metabolism, is improving how people can lose weight and overcome obesity. The new technology was developed by Erica Forzani, a professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, and a late colleague, Professor NJ Tao. Already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the device recently earned the European Union’s Medical Device Regulation certification. Breezing provides health care professionals the data they need to help patients overcome weight loss challenges by adjusting diet and physical activity as the body changes. The technology is also an effective tool for use in bariatric surgery, endocrinology, family medicine and nutrition.
