The CVm-Health+ app, available on iOS and Android, will be used to:
- Provide access to study information and links to training materials
- Record health status and test result data for students and staff (with consent)
- Capture a time-stamped photograph of the POCT result every time an individual performs a test, to provide independent classification.
Lord (Paul) Drayson PhD, CEO of Sensyne Health, said:
“The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing all organisations to understand and adapt to infection risk. Remote health monitoring software and the analysis of health data using clinical AI is already helping to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in the healthcare sector and we are pleased that CVm-Health is being used for another clinical study of national importance.”
