Advancements in Saliva Analysis for Disease Detection

Scientists have developed techniques to analyze saliva for traces of various illnesses, making it an easy, painless, and inexpensive method for early disease detection. Saliva contains valuable biological information that can help detect diseases like Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. Advanced technologies like Raman spectroscopy are being used to scan saliva for molecular changes, potentially revolutionizing early disease detection and making healthcare more accessible.
