GE researchers are currently working on a sensor that can be plugged into smartphones and wearable devices that will detect the presence of novel coronavirus nanoparticles. Reuters The electronic sensors are essentially based on the same test method currently used in laboratories to detect the presence of SARS CoV-2. Instead of focusing on other diseases, you only recognize the coronavirus specifically .

GE explains the project with the words: “Tools available for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus require extensive sample preparation and / or expensive laboratory equipment in order to obtain accurate results. The aim of this pro

Portable sensor module EmotiBit A new biometric, wearable sensor module based on Arduino is now available at Kickstarter. The open source device called EmotiBit can capture emotional, physiological and movement data via more than 16 biometric signals. “Wear it in any orientation, anywhere on your body, and start measuring biometric signals! Thanks to the integrated slots, you can easily carry EmotiBit however you want, ”says the Kickstarter website. Since the data is 100 percent owned by the user, it can be recorded directly on the built-in SD card and viewed via a cross-platform visualizer, available for Mac, PC and Linux, based on the OpenFrameworks toolkit for creative coding . The visualizer also enables data streaming and, as open source, enables further adaptation of the platform. "EmotiBit is equipped with sensors in a portable form factor and thanks to its open source technology is 100 percent customizable and hackable," the company said.
