Abstract: A health condition estimation apparatus 10 includes an obtaining unit 40 and a controller 42. The obtaining unit 40 obtains gas information. The gas information is based on a signal output by a sensor unit in a period in which a first gas is supplied to the sensor unit and a signal output by the sensor unit in a period in which a second gas is supplied to the sensor unit. The sensor unit outputs a signal with a signal value in accordance with the concentration of a specific gas. The first gas and the second gas are different in at least either of obtaining position and obtaining time. A controller 39 generates health information based on the gas information.

Abstract: A gas detection system includes a sensor unit that outputs a voltage corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a first chamber capable of storing a supplied sample gas, a second chamber located between the first chamber and the sensor unit, and a flow path connectable to an inlet of the second chamber. The second chamber has a smaller area than the first chamber in a cross section perpendicular to a gas flow direction in the first chamber. The sample gas is supplied from the first chamber to the second chamber, and then a purge gas is supplied from the flow path to the second chamber to supply the sample gas to the sensor unit.

Abstract: Intestinal information of a subject is accurately estimated from a component contained in a gas generated from feces of the subject. Included are a detector configured to detect a predetermined component from a gas released from feces of a subject and output a detection signal depending on a concentration of the predetermined component and an estimator configured to input the detection signal or the concentration of the predetermined component corresponding to the detection signal to a prediction model and estimate information regarding an amount and/or an existence ratio of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria and/or a metabolite contained in the feces of the subject. The predetermined component is at least one selected from the group consisting of methyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide.

Abstract: Provided is a stress measurement system and a stress measurement method that are capable of measuring the stress level of a subject without taking time and effort. A stress measurement system 1 includes a sensor unit 31 that detects a plurality of detection target gases based on substances contained in a specimen of a subject and outputs a plurality of detection values corresponding to respective detection results of the plurality of detection target gases, and a control unit that determines a stress level of the subject, based on a combination of the plurality of detection values. In addition, the substances contained in the specimen may include a substance serving as a raw material for a brain neurotransmitter.

Abstract: A sensor module includes a sensor configured to detect a specific substance in a sample, a first channel, and a second channel The first channel supplies a first fluid as the sample to the sensor. The second channel supplies a second fluid different from the first fluid to the sensor. The second channel includes a second fluid buffer tank for holding the second fluid for a fixed time interval.

Abstract: A gas supply and discharge adapter has an opening through which a gas flows into and out of a gas sensor, an inflow port through which the gas flows into the opening, and an outflow port through which the gas flows out of the opening. The inflow port and the outflow port are positioned independently of each other. When the inflow port and the opening are viewed in plan through the gas supply and discharge adapter, the inflow port partially overlaps the opening.

Abstract: A gas detection system includes a first sensor unit that outputs a voltage corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a storage tank capable of storing a sample gas or a purge gas to be supplied to the first sensor unit, and a control unit. The control unit detects a type and a concentration of a gas contained in the sample gas on the basis of a detection result of the first sensor unit. The control unit sets a collection period during which a gas in a predetermined space is collected into the storage tank as the sample gas or the purge gas and a supply period during which the sample gas or the purge gas is supplied to the first sensor unit such that the collection period and the supply period fall in different time slots.

Abstract: A gas detection system includes a sensor unit that outputs a signal corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a concentration unit having therein an adsorbent that adsorbs a gas to be detected, a supply unit capable of supplying a sample gas and a purge gas to the concentration unit, a heater capable of heating the adsorbent, and a control unit. The control unit controls the supply unit so that the sample gas passes through the concentration unit, and then controls the supply unit so that the purge gas passes through the concentration unit while controlling the heater so that a temperature of the adsorbent increases.
