Hi
@mumstheword I remembered reading an article regarding RAP potentially being able to screen at airports through a uniquest article last year. Not sure if it was put up on this forum but here it is:
https://uniquest.com.au/impact_stor...-helping-doctors-and-patients-breathe-easier/"ResApp’s technology provides unprecedented opportunities to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases: From emergency medicine in hospitals,
screening in airports, remote healthcare in developing countries, telehealth applications, in elderly care, and home-based personalised management of chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma."
Your idea is not too far fetched AT all, I'd say pre screening at airports would be the way to go. I was diagnosed last year with pneumonia and had to cancel my trip to Russia on doctors orders. I would have been absolutely screwed if I had gone to Russia with pneumonia as I would most likely have been trapped there for weeks and quarantined until it had fully subsided. I was lucky I caught it early enough as I was scheduled to leave 5 days later.. I wasn't really showing any symptoms prior to being diagnosed...
Also folks on another note please note the following referring to the smart cough C2 results presented in Dallas Texas at the ATS international conference:
Discussion: A smartphone-based algorithm using cough analysis and parent-reported symptoms provides moderate sensitivity and specificity for common childhood respiratory illnesses,
within the reported range of chest radiography and rapid viral respiratory tests. This diagnostic tool has potential applications in the care of children with acute respiratory illness in both high and low-resource healthcare settings."
https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/5789/presentation/11880For our machine learning smartphone based algorithm results to be within the reported range of these expensive and time-consuming tests is an outstanding achievement. FDA I believe will make a favorable decision towards granting our company with its denovo application.
1. its safe
2. There is no comparable device currently out there making this de-novo worthy
3. It is effective enough to be within the reported range. That's good enough proving it's effectiveness.
4. There is definitely a need for this with in the community especially for telehealth and for rural areas.
IMO There's no possible way to get 100% accuracy if the system that our technology is testing against is 70% accurate or less. So looking at it from this angle proves that out technology is just as accurate as the professionals in the US.
Bring on the de Novo FDA decision! The time has come for this company to shine!
