Development and test of point of care multimodal biosensor for screening, detection and monitoring COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 Research Area(s): Diagnostics, Genomics & Transmission Dynamics, Equipment & Technology Innovations, Healthcare Delivery & Policy

This project aims to develop a non-invasive, sensitive and accurate biosensing device and simple-to-operate method for screening, early diagnosis, and monitoring COVID-19 patients. Real-time and continuous monitoring of several physiological parameters related to respiratory function, body oxygenation and body response to infection will enable clinicians to optimize treatment options and assess the prognosis of the disease in each individual.
