COVID-19: Breath Test for Corona

Great news! A breath test would probably beat the usual fever infrared thermometer testing anytime!

"Prof. Hossam Haick and his team have shifted their focus to applying nanosensor technology to facilitate rapid and remote screening for COVID-19. These intelligent sensory systems can be used to diagnose Corona, and future epidemics. The group’s research focuses on breath testing using nano-sensors and AI and on a skin patch. The method is non-invasive, fast and inexpensive, and is already undergoing clinical trials in a hospital where COVID-19 is being treated.

Among many honors, Prof. Haick’s research received a prestigious Bill & Melinda Gates grant in 2015."
