Can I see my results in PPM (Parts per million)?
Your FoodMarble device is an app-connected wellness device, not a medical device. It is designed to be used without the guidance of a medical professional. As a result of this, your breath test results are presented within the app as fermentation scores (f-scores). F-scores are based on an easy to interpret scale designed by FoodMarble, which runs from 0-10 and your results will be categorised as either low, medium or high. "PPM" which stands for parts per million, is a unit of measurement usedFew readersCan I get a copy of my results/logged data?

This is especially important on Challenge / Discovery days - completely avoid mouthwashFew readersCan my results be shared with my doctor?
