Oxford University scientists’ AI diagnostic test accurately identifies known respiratory viruses in minutes
February 6th, 2023 – Oxford, United Kingdom – Nicolas Shiaelis and Dr Nicole Robb, Oxford University scientists and co-founders of health tech company Pictura Bio, have developed a world-first diagnostic, test powered by artificial intelligence, that can identify known respiratory viruses such as influenza and COVID-19 within five minutes from just one nasal or throat swab. Current tests are either lab based and time consuming or fast and less accurate. They are also limited, for instance, a lateral flow test only tests for one infection. This means illnesses are spread…
