Engineers at MlT and Harvard University have created a protective mask, which can be used to determine in 90 minutes if the wearer is infected with coronarys, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported.
Masks have integrated sensors that can be built in other face masks and can adapt to detect other viruses.
They're located on the inside of the mask and they can detect viral particles in their breathing and they're designed to activate them when they're ready to run the test.
Because of privacy, results appear only in the inner part of the mask.
Developing sensors as used in the new mask began several years ago. Previously, they were used to detect the infections of Ebola and Zika.
This test is as sensitive as the test PCR very sensitive to the golden standard, but it's as fast as antigen tests used for rapid analysis at COVID-19”, Harvard researcher Peter Nguen said.
Researchers have applied for a patent for new technology and hope to work with companies for further development of the sensor.
