EMAI: epidemic monitoring based on AI

  • The Need

    Viral respiratory infections have been, are and will always be present in our lives. The early detection of symptoms and rapid tests are the basis of an efficient screening strategy to control the transmission of these.

  • The Solution

    Our research group has managed to develop a unique mass screening of respiratory viral infections based on artificial intelligence based on the symptoms and the recognition of the aroma of a hydroalcoholic gel that has a high sensitivity (97%). A prospective study has been carried out for the development and validation of this technology and the European patent has recently been obtained. The regulatory procedures have been explored and we are waiting for companies willing to invest in a screening system useful in work environments to minimize the economic effect of layoffs and in vulnerable environments such as nursing homes to mitigate the effect of epidemic outbreaks of viral infections on the healthcare system.
