A strip would be added to the swab head so when the fluid touches the strip, it gives a color and like you said, it’s like a pregnancy test result. The accuracy of the result from the device cannot be ascertained immediately through the colors that is why the swab head is designed to hold the fluid from the person’s nose and throat and that swab head is taken to the lab by the agency in charge to investigate further and deliver the result.
Thank you that’s a valid point but we would like to start with the clear symptom cases first. As regards area we start with the epicenter of the virus.
Note: I want this device to be very simple and affordable like a toothbrush so everyone in that area could get one.
From the information gotten from infected cases, we can identify potential areas that could have been infected before their discovery.
So the registration in this case might be invalid, we would share the devices based on the information gotten from the infected cases.
The device would test for Corona virus by collecting fluids from infected people and the fluids are taken to the lab for molecular testing which is the best form of investigation of the virus.
So, the device is just a collecting device and a tracking device not necessarily testing.
But it saves the trouble of drive in, and the lack of testing.
Submitting the device for testing will be like the way the thrash collectors collect thrash
I need someone to develop the device because the current solutions are not getting around a lot.
This one is simple and it’s not necessarily a testing and tracking device but a collecting device to enable testing at the labs
