Ireland first would be expectation. But part of UK comes with it... (rest to follow, or lead if expectations wrong... or all at once....).
A standard approach to tracking Covid-19 infections through wastewater on the whole island of Ireland

Posted below the other day (current report but now outdated... as is the nature of these things) but worth a look for anyone that wants to understand DVRG being there from day one:
Innovative Water Monitoring
Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland
June 2021

Given what is spoken about in report the New AI centre of excellence in Cork ( https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/DVRG/new-ai-centre-of-excellence-in-cork/14965354 ) should be kept busy...
Page 63:
"This follow-up work would entail further development and testing of the new LOC version, and combining it with the AI model, as well as building a substantial water definition database for various regions to train local models. This would allow the AI models to be trained for region-specific water differences. As this approach to testing is rolled out we would expect future work to involve collating and training these latest models. For example, the current model could be retrained for use in peatland areas (which have a high humic content and extra Raman background) using an estimated 200 laboratory-calibrated samples."
From Nov 2020, looks like Ireland will be first then?
DeepVerge has commenced deployment of near-source wastewater contamination test equipment ("Microtox PD") into water treatment plants in Ireland.
Microtox PD units, retrofitted with AI based optofluidic pathogen identification scanners, are also being shipped to the University of Aberdeen CAT3 laboratory, adding to the ongoing trials with the live SARS-CoV-2, supplied by Public Health England.
Phase 3 field trials are expected to begin shortly at multiple sites in Northern England. In collaboration with EcoWaterOS consortia partners, aggregated anonymised data will provide datasets for AI model simulations from human volunteers who will undergo COVID-19 testing with a combination of Microtox BT, a lateral flow antigen test and a rt-PCR test. Sufficient datasets are anticipated to be complete early in 2021.
Gerard Brandon, CEO of DeepVerge, Commented:
"Phase 3 field trial testing is the last step to establish permanent anonymised mass surveillance of dangerous pathogens in wastewater, in real-time. The field trials will combine the deployment of Microtox PD wastewater units and daily testing of individual volunteers with a Microtox BT breathalyser test, a lateral flow test and a PCR test. The data from these tests are expected to simultaneously identify the source of COVID-19 cases, identify COVID-19 clusters, and indicate the size of each cluster in real-time. As the data grows, AI will offer the potential to predict the trajectory of growth of future clusters of Sars-CoV-2 or any future dangerous pathogen. As we progress towards commercialisation, PulMoBioMed's patented technology will enable a quick roll-out of our Microtox BT breath test once field trials have completed. We look forward to reporting the results in due course.
Excellent RNS and interview. Well done Gerry and team.
The first few weeks into H2 will be as exciting as the last two of H1. In fact when you see the list of achievements in the Audit Report out next week, you would imagine you were describing milestones over years, not months.
Exciting times ahead, for certain.
Thanks for the detailed post Gerard, i know it will be appreciated by the wider community on this board.
I am an accountant by trade, but sticking some pretty words together doesnt sound too difficult, does it? ;-)
Jokes aside, its seems we are set to go. I appreciate you are privy to more than you can divulge, but i imagine the next 6 months are going to be very exciting, whether you are able to agree or not :-)
The humanitarian benefit of such advances cannot be understated, and the world really needs to take notice, but hey, nothing wrong with us all making a tidy sum in the process!
Modern Water has developed a means to automatically monitor and detect more than 2,700 viruses, bacteria, toxins and parasites from all parts of the world since 1984.
The institutional knowledge within this history in unique and the source of data now being used as part of our Artificial Intelligence systems being built and retrofitted into existing and new award winning equipment.
Internet of Things, AI, Smart Cities technology, Industry Revolution 4.0, network connectivity in water, air, soil to a central monitoring system is the end game.
All of this technology already exists. Nothing from Integumen, Modern Water, Microsaic, Labskin, Rinocloud, Acumen Software, SKIN Trust Club, Aptamer, Avacta, Tyndall Foundries, EPS Group, Cellulac was or is a new invention. EcoWaterOS was established in February 2020.
Today,12 months almost to the day, after we first begun adapting the technology to manage COVID19, we have delivered live data transmission of SARS-CoV-2 as it passed through a Modern Water piece of equipment, retrofitted with a solution to a global problem.
That's pretty much how I sum up today. A 3 year project that has a life altering opportunity for everyone. Getting this right with the right consortium and passionate teams will deliver real shareholder value far in excess of monetary gain.
Gerry
@Dinagadog1. Will look to you for copy for the promotion :-)
Seriously though. You are absolutely correct in that this is the world's first because we know an independent global search was carried out by consultants to source a real-time surveillance solution that could be automated to transmit instantaneous alerts to central advisors.
Not only are we the only ones with a solution, but with an installed footprint of water test g equipment across 60 countries that can be retrofitted with this solution.
This is part of a Smart Cities solution that combines multiple sources of data that include location, environment air and water pollution, weather, populations and builds predictive scenarios to assist management of current and future pandemics, epidemics of a range of pathogens.
Labskin has been working with SARS-CoV-2 virus in educational and our own laboratories for months with 14 years institutional knowledge of viruses, bacteria, toxins and parasites.... 1/2
Let that sink in. Why wouldnt governments world wide want to have this solution? Why continue to insist on shot in the dark tests at the taxpayers (and planets, due to plastic) expense? Why not invest taxpayers money into a solution that provides a future-proof pandemic detection system.
PD works. Its through the trials. DVRG are near to agreeing a deal to provide a worldwide distribution network to all who want it
We have the answers to some of the pandemic questions. It's called microtox PD. Come and get it!
