Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable breath analysis device system and a method thereof that helps healthy nutrition and weight loss by allowing for detecting the intolerant foods by means of analyzing the respiratory gases received from the person's breath. The present invention particularly relates to a portable breath analysis device system and a method thereof that simultaneously and instantaneously measures acetone, ammonia, nitric oxide, ethanol, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen gases in the breath of a person, that allows for monitoring and regulating a person's carbohydrate (sugar), fat, and protein consumption with a computer-based method by transferring the data obtained from these measured gases to a mobile device.

7 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the breath measuring device comprises the gas sensor measuring Methane (CH4) gas in a range of >1000 ppm.

8 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the breath measuring device comprises the gas sensor measuring Acetone (C3H6O) gas in a range of >0.10 ppm.

9 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, it comprises the mobile device that allows monitoring a carbohydrate (sugar), fat, and protein consumption of the person by receiving this data from the server by means of transmitting the data obtained from the gases measured by the breath measuring device to the server.

10 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the user warnings of the breathe measuring device given to the user by the electronic circuit card are a charge status and on-off status information of the breath measuring device.

11 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the mobile device configured to be a smart phone, a laptop, a tablet, a smart watch, a smart wristband, wearable glasses.

12 . The portable breath analysis system of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the mobile device is preferably a smartphone.

13 . An analysis method of the breath analysis system according to claim 1 , in order to analyze the data and create the nutrition plan, the server comprises the process steps of,

Wirelessly transmitting the received data to the mobile device after the breath measuring device receives the data, and transmitting the received data to the server by the mobile device;

Analyzing the data received by comparing it with reference values by the server, and evaluating changes in hunger-fullness or repeated daily measurements by the server;

Preparing a nutrition program according to the results of the analysis in line with the received data by the server;

Offering menu samples as a recommendation to the user in terms of feeding according to the analysis result in line with the received data by the server;

Offering a suggestion to the user as the result of the analysis performed according to the received data by the server;

Sending the analysis results, suggested nutrition program, menu samples and suggestions back to the mobile device by the server,

Displaying results, analysis, and custom nutrition plan from the mobile device interface.

14 . The analysis method of the breath analysis system according to claim 13 , characterized in that, in the process step of offering a suggestion to the user as the result of the analysis performed according to the received data by the server, it comprises the process step of,

offering a suggestion such that “you may have an intolerance (digestive insufficiency) to a food you consume today, it would be beneficial to talk to your doctor/dietician” by the server if the hydrogen gas in the breath is high,

displaying the suggestion offered by the server with the mobile device interface.

15 . The analysis method of the breath analysis system according to claim 13 , characterized in that, in the process step of offering a suggestion to the user as the result of the analysis performed according to the received data by the server, it comprises the process step of;
