Researchers of KJ Hospital Research and Postgraduate Center in Chennai have successfully developed and demonstrated a human palm-sized device, which they claim can detect Covid-19 based on parameters such as Zetapotential, blood pressure, body temperature, Oxygen saturation, blood count, all in a matter of seconds.
That too, with no pricks and invasive methods. Just place your palm covered in a plastic glove (to prevent infection) on the device and within seconds the results flash on the connected computer, as against the minimum 6 hours required to get an RT-PCR test result.
This technology is based on being able to measure the very small quantity of electricity that is generated by the living human body. Ideally, it ranges between 23 and 25milliVolt(mV) in a normal person. But according to the findings of the researchers, those infected with a virus would show 20-22mV readings, whereas those infected with COVID-19 could show readings of 5-15mV.
The sensors…
