VASRO Research Highlights Ainos' Expansion of Smell AI Into Patient-Level Breath Intelligence

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a Smell AI company digitizing scent into machine-readable data for artificial intelligence applications, today highlighted a new update report published by VASRO GmbH ("VASRO") reviewing Ainos' planned expansion of its AI Nose platform into patient-level breath intelligence.

The VASRO update reviews Ainos' recently announced one-year research program with National Taiwan University, scheduled to begin on July 1, 2026, to evaluate whether AI-analyzed breath patterns may help distinguish acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") from acute decompensated heart failure among patients presenting with shortness of breath. While these conditions can appear similar on arrival, they may require different clinical responses.

VASRO characterized the program as an expansion of Ainos' AI Nose platform from environmental sensing into patient-level breath analysis, extending Smell ID into a new source of real-world scent data. By digitizing breath-related scent patterns into data, the program may further broaden the datasets supporting the Company's Smell Language Model ("SLM") across diverse use-cases.

"This research program applies our AI Nose platform to a high-value emergency-care challenge where time and diagnostic clarity matter," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ainos. "It also reflects the continued expansion of Smell AI from sensing environments toward capturing and interpreting patient-level breath data."

About AI Nose

AI Nose digitizes scent into Smell ID, an AI-driven form of scent intelligence. The full-stack electronic nose platform integrates high-precision sensor arrays with proprietary AI algorithms designed to support ppb-level scent detection sensitivity, subject to application conditions and deployment configurations. Smell ID converts analog scent signals into structured, actionable data, while the proprietary Smell Language Model (SLM) is designed to learn, classify, and contextualize complex scent patterns over time.

Built upon more than a decade of accumulated scent data and deep medtech expertise, AI Nose is designed to support continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and real-time alerts across industrial and manufacturing environments. AI Nose is offered under a SmellTech-as-a-Service architecture, intended to support ongoing access to scent intelligence, analytics, and AI-driven insights through subscription-based deployment models.
