Pacifier receiving breath and saliva samples for providing nutritional information
First Claim
1. A pacifier assembly comprising:
- a nipple having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion configured to receive and analyze breath samples from a user via a breath analysis module; and
a base portion attached to the proximal portion of the nipple, the base portion including a grip portion;
wherein the breath analysis module is configured to analyze the breath samples by detecting and quantifying a select number of different molecules and/or organic compounds therefrom to derive nutritional information including nutrients pertaining to a diet of the user from the received breath samples in order to determine nutritional deficiencies of the user;
wherein the base portion further includes one or more removable strips configured to display nutritional information values based on the breath samples received from the user via the nipple.
