Low-cost, non-invasive, detection, and diagnostic platform for surveillance of infections in humans, and animals. The system embraces the IoT “digital by design” metaphor by incorporating elements of connectivity, data sharing and (secure) information arbitrage. Can we use an array of aptamers to bind viral targets which may help in detection, diagnostics, and potentially prevention in case of SARS-CoV-2? The ADD tool may become part of a broader platform approach in molecular epidemiology and serve as another public health risk mitigation strategy.
Description
The proposal pertaining to SARS-CoV-2 ("ADD") also includes a suggestion for SARS-CoV-2 breathalyzer (see Figure 18 in "ADD") and one reason for advocating this approach may be gleaned from the legend to Figure 20 (in the pdf "ADD"). The article "ADD" is included in chapter 6 of the book "IoT is a Metaphor" (PDF in this collection).
