The test kit can produce results in around 20 minutes for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients
Current Affairs : A scientist at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad has built up an Artificial Intelligence-fueled COVID-19 test, which can be performed at a moderate expense.
The test unit can create results in around 20 minutes for indicative and asymptomatic patients.
The test pack has just been field-tried at ESIC Medical College and Hospital in Hyderabad to find out its productivity. It very well may be moved rapidly, empowering the test to be led at the purpose of-care. A significant advantage of this testing pack is that it doesn’t require RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction).
Each test costs around Rs. 600 gadget now. Nonetheless, large scale manufacturing of the testing unit will help decrease the expense to around Rs. 350 for every test.
The testing unit was created by a group drove by Prof. Shiv Govind Singh, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad. Dr. Suryasnata Tripathy, a postdoctoral individual, Patta Supraja, a fourth-year doctoral understudy and different understudies from Prof. Shiv Govind Singh’s Research Team, organization personnel and financing offices upheld this venture.
