Corona diagnosed in two minutes
6/7/2020
Two technology companies in Finland developed a new form of rapid testing to diagnose the Coronavirus, relying on a person’s inspiration in just two minutes, and for two euros, according to local media.
The first company indicated in a statement that the device's effectiveness tests began in June this year, in health centers in Helsinki and Kazakhstan, and then expanded in the Netherlands and the United States.
The statement said: "If proven effective, this test will be the fastest, and perhaps the cheapest in the world."
The test is performed on the basis of a person’s inspiration 4 times for 30 seconds in the device, in which accurate sensors are monitored and the organic components flying in the outside air are measured.
Once the air sample is sent, the device sends the data to a cloud server, for the second company to analyze using artificial intelligence and return the extracted information to the device in two minutes.
The success of the device depends on the ability of artificial intelligence to determine the vital signs associated with the Coronavirus in the open air.
The developed company indicated that this device may be used in the future to diagnose other diseases within a few minutes, such as lung cancer or the intestine.
The two companies are looking to produce the device soon and distribute it among customers in August.
