DUBAI – Blood tests to measure aldehydes will be soon replaced by just breathing into a machine known as ?Revelar?, the latest global medical technology revolution, that can diagnose sickness, blood deficiencies and lung cancer in seven minutes. By April this year, the Revelar system will be rolled out in the UAE, and if used in testing centres and hospitals, Dubai residents may not be queuing up for their turn to take the blood test. Launched in Dubai on Tuesday night at the Le Meridien Hotel, the US-based Pulse Health’s Revelar system is a new milestone in medical technology that can diagnose a person’s wellness or illness by tracking aldehydes, or organic compounds released when cell damage occurs in a body.
