MediCircle Health, an AI-powered diagnostics company is introducing, SpectraLIT – Spectral Instant Test in India, which is the world\u2019s fastest Covid-19 test delivering results in just one second.<\/p>\n
SpectraLIT is a portable spectrophotometry-based testing platform that is powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect Covid-19 by using an individual\u2019s nasal or mouthwash sample. This eliminates the need for complex lab equipment and chemicals by providing immediate results using the spectral signature of the virus. The algorithm can be adjusted to detect different variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.<\/p>\n
SpectraLIT is developed byNewsight Imaging which specializes in developing advanced machine vision chip sensors in collaboration with the reputed Sheba Medical Center\u2019s ARC InnovationCenter in Israel. The technology is licensed to Hong Kong-based AI Innobio for the Asia-Pacific region. MediCircle Health has an exclusive tie-up with AIInnoBio to launch the test in India.<\/p>\n
How does it work?
\nWhen the human body is infected by the virus that causes Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2), the body starts producing chemicals in response to the infection, including proteins and peptides present in the secretions in the nose, mouth, and pharynx. When a sample from the patient is inserted into the device, a spectra is generated. SpectraLIT performs instant spectral analysis and it can accurately as well as instantly determine if the spectral pattern matches that of the Covid-19 sample. All that SpectraLIT requires is a computer, an internet connection, a plastic cuvette, and saline water. It eliminates the use of any reagents or chemicals. The kit also empowers frequent scalable testing.<\/p>\n
Pranav Kohli, Partner, said, \u201cWe at MediCircle Health are proud of our association with AI INNOBIO, and Newsight Imaging. With this association, we will be in a unique position to help India fight against Covid-19 and its various strains. Our objective is to play our part in the larger adaptation of the WHO t3 initiative which is to test, treat, and track. Covid-19 has changed every aspect of our lives; it has changed how we shop, dine, play and watch sports, and drastically changed the landscape of the travel industry. A few months ago when we experienced a Covid-19 crisis at home, we understood the importance of a fast testing kit and how it can drastically uplift the current situation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
