Dogs at Dalhousie University trained to detect PTSD stress in human breath with 90% accuracy.

Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have trained dogs to detect stress in human breath, with a 90% accuracy rate. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Allergy, suggests that dogs can be trained to recognize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human breath related to PTSD episodes. This approach could improve the effectiveness of PTSD assistance dogs and broaden the range of assistance dogs and their applications.
