Abstract:
1. An apparatus for monitoring health comprising: a doorknob; a sample capture system arranged on the doorknob, the sample capture system configured to collect at least some chemicals excreted from a skin surface of a subject during a sampling event, wherein the sample capture system is configured for installation on a fixed location; a sensor in operative communication with the sample capture system, the sensor configured to detect one or more chemical substances included in the collected chemicals and generate data regarding the one or more chemical substances; a processor in operative communication with the sensor, the processor configured to provide an output in response to the detection of the one or more chemical substances; a data storage device operatively coupled with the processor and configured to store the data from the sampling event and configured to store data associated with previous sampling events, wherein the processor determines a health of the subject based on an average of the sampling event and the previous sampling events, wherein the output includes a grade of the health of the subject; and a subject verification part configured to verify an identity of the subject by generating recognition data, wherein the recognition data is compared to previously stored identification data to verify the identity of the subject.
