Every time we exhale, we release thousands of different compounds along with the air. These include more than 3,000 volatile molecules, as well as a liquid component consisting of water vapor and tiny droplets, and a fraction of solid particles. Together, these elements provide a true chemical “snapshot” of what is happening inside our lungs […]
At the RISCD international conference in Warwick, PhD student Raffaella Germinario presented a paper on an innovative approach to the study of asthma based on breath analysis. Her research is part of an industrial PhD program carried out in collaboration between the Polytechnic University of Bari (Prof. Francesco Dell’Olio) and Predict (Mistral team). She is […]
The first Italian study to introduce breath analysis into occupational medicine, specifically in the automotive sector, has begun at the Military Hospital Centre in Baggio, Milan. Approximately 100 workers will participate in the project, in which the Mistral Sampler will be used to easily and non-invasively collect breath samples from these individuals in order to […]
The history of medicine is a progression shaped by discoveries, instruments, and conceptual advances that have profoundly transformed our understanding of disease. For centuries, physicians grounded their diagnostic assessments primarily in their senses: the inspection of the skin, the auscultation of the thorax, the palpation of internal organs. The human body was interpreted through what […]
The Emicenter diagnostic excellence center in Casavatore is embracing the latest innovations in cancer prevention with the launch of a study using Mistral, the medical device developed by Predict for breath sampling. Initially used to support prostate cancer screening, the Mistral project is expanding its scope at the diagnostic center: as of July 2025, it […]
On June 19, 2025, we were among the key participants at the event “Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: From Innovation to Clinical Practice”, organized by the Salento Biomedical District in collaboration with UniSalento and the Italian Institute of Technology. The event was designed to bridge the gap between healthcare and innovation, bringing together medical professionals, companies, […]
On May 15, 2025, breath sample collection began at the IRCCS “S. De Bellis” in Castellana Grotte, a hospital specialized in gastroenterology and one of the most prominent healthcare institutions in Puglia and across Italy. This date marks a significant milestone for the Endoscope project, which is part of the D3-4Health cascade funding program promoted by […]
The year 2024 marks a crucial milestone for Mistral, with the launch of major clinical trials in collaboration with centers of excellence throughout Italy. Mistral is a certified medical device (CEE 93/42) that captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human breath with a simple exhalation. Thanks to advanced analysis performed by the Mistral Lab, these […]
Predict is participating, alongside the University of Bari and the University of Salento, in the Endoscope project, funded under the “D3-4Health” cascade calls promoted by Sapienza University of Rome. D3-4Health (Digital Driven Diagnostics, Prognostics and Therapeutics for Sustainable Healthcare) is an initiative involving 28 public and private entities, with the aim of developing advanced digital […]
