To be honest I was underwhelmed by the Microtox BT. It is an extremely clever piece of kit with great technology but I think it is impractical, cumbersome and expensive for the job it is intended to do. I certainly wouldn't want to get up in the morning, blow into a device for 3 to 4 quid, take out the chip, go out into a rainy day to find an analyser and then upload into my smart phone (which my Nokia doesn't qualify as) just on the off chance that I might meet some friends in the pub in the evening. I certainly wouldn't buy one.
That said, I assume that this device stores a sample of your breath on the chip and when sent to the server, the AI effectively tells you whether you have Covid or not. As I understand it, Integumen's Rinodcloud has data on thousands of pathogens. Why not look at ............. if you're feeling ill you blow into the device, wifey takes the chip down to the local analyser at the GPs/Pharmacy and then the clever AI in seconds tells her what hubby has got ....... COVID, ManFlu Norovirus etc. Wifey buys the Tamiflu and choccys and hubby doesn't even have to get out of bed and infect the general public on his way to the GP.
Now that would certainly have a chance of reaching every household as I would certainly buy at least one for my family and I'm probably the biggest dinosaur frequenting this board
Just a thought. ATB
