Major challenge for breath analysis is to understand and handle complexity while delivering simplicity. A heat map of mass spectrometry data on the left will not likely be very helpful for end users (testing for a disease in the clinic for example). To be useful, this complex array of data needs to be simplified in a way that allows for decision making similar to the way traffic lights are used.
