The tests are probably taking longer than we'd like as detecting Covid is only a small part of it. The tie up with Microsaic was to miniaturise the mass spectrometry to enable it to be used by the police to detect drug users. Also 40 other medical diseases to be used by GP's . What they are testing it for are there in the document. MicrotoxBT will be used worldwide even when the pandemic is long forgotten about.
Point-of-care diagnostics in the human health industry
Disruption in the human health care industry is driven by the demand for point-of-care diagnostics and real-time monitoring systems. Growth in the healthcare market is projected at a CAGR of 38.05% between 2020-2028, propelled by AI and portable digital health diagnostics.
That’s why Microsaic is collaborating with DeepVerge to accelerate the development of the MicrotoxBT breathalyser. This ground-breaking device combines miniaturised mass spectrometry with DeepVerge’s AI data analytics to detect Spike Proteins of the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2, on a person’s breath. Resulting in fast, reliable, and efficient test results of the population at the point-of-need.
This combination platform opens up opportunities that would enable GP clinics to refer serious conditions, by using biomarker binding agents capable of detecting up to 40 diseases on the human breath, including:
Cancer
Neurodegenerative conditions
Respiratory illnesses
Metabolic conditions
Deployable MS instrumentation would eliminate unnecessary doctor-to-hospital referrals and over-prescription of antibiotics, resulting in significantly increased productivity and reduced healthcare costs.
