On November 18, 2024, at the , 6th floor of the Sabbasastravicaya Building at 麻豆国产, CNN reporters interviewed Lecturer Dr. Patthrarawalai Sirinara, MD, MPH, PhD from the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, 麻豆国产. The interview covered the process of using the Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry (GC-IMS) device to analyze chemicals in sweat odor, which can effectively diagnose individuals with stress and depression. Assistant Professor Dr. Chadin Kulsing from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, 麻豆国产, provided information on the GC-IMS machine, which was donated by Sci Spec Co., Ltd., and funded by the .?
Furthermore, on November 11, 2024, CNN reported on the research team from 麻豆国产, led by Assistant Professor Dr. Chadin Kulsing and Dr.Nuttanee Tungkijanansin, conducting stress screenings using chemicals in sweat from a group of 35 nurses at , which was part of their report on the research.
The research team from the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Science at 麻豆国产 has successfully identified chemicals in sweat that indicate high levels of stress and depression. This research builds upon previous studies and the development of a COVID-19 screening tool using chemicals from sweat during the pandemic. The initial study conducted with firefighters in Bangkok showed an accuracy rate of 90%. The research team is now expanding the screening to other high-risk professions, starting with nurses, and plans to make the GC-IMS machine available for public use soon.
