We are working toward a future where sense of smell is routinely tested, measured, and tracked—just like blood pressure or hearing.
This is a simple, overlooked gap in healthcare—with major impact on early detection, safety, and long-term health outcomes.
Help Bring Smell Testing to Your Community
Take Action Locally
Real change starts at the local level.
While school boards are often the simplest entry point for policy change, smell testing is most relevant for:
- Older adults
- Athletes (post-concussion)
- Individuals navigating medical treatment
For that reason, your City Council is one of the most effective places to begin driving adoption.
Where to Start
Talk to your City Council member
Engage local health systems or clinics
Connect with community health organizations
Identify one pilot location (clinic, pharmacy, or senior center)
Why this Matters
Most people don’t realize their sense of smell is declining—
but it can signal serious health risks years earlier.
Smell testing:
- Enables earlier detection
- Improves patient safety
- Reduces long-term healthcare costs
- Fits seamlessly into existing workflows
