A Rapid Test Combining Direct Detection with Immunity Monitoring to Address Every Stage of Pandemic Management

FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-08

Summary
Current COVID-19 diagnostics are lacking a complete picture of the disease and have limited sensitivity. Sensoreal’s solution would be the first serological immunity test combined with direct detection of the virus from a nasal swab in an accurate and portable system. This solution adds the benefits of direct detection to the promise of immunity monitoring. The ideal diagnostic would not only limit the spread of the disease, but also help to manage it and foster long-term economic recovery.

Description

Sensoreal’s solution would be the first serological immunity test combined with direct detection of the virus from a nasal swab in an accurate and portable system.

Description (French)
Les diagnostics actuels de la COVID-19 ne donnent pas une image complète de la maladie et ont une sensibilité limitée. La solution de Sensoreal serait le premier test d'immunité sérologique combiné à la détection directe du virus à partir d'un écouvillon nasal dans un système précis et portable. Cette solution ajoute les avantages de la détection directe à la promesse du suivi de l'immunité. Le diagnostic idéal permettrait non seulement de limiter la propagation de la maladie, mais aussi d'aider à la gérer et de favoriser la reprise économique à long terme.
