Hi MSImaker. I can see your point, and to some extent you’re right. But with due respect, your conclusion about resappdx’s role in outbreaks is totally wrong.

Don’t want to repeat all that I’ve written so if u don’t mind this is just a copy and paste from a post i made last week. Please take time to read? Thanks

“There is no question that ResappDx cannot diagnose the presence of COVID-19. PCR is best for that. Of course! No debate! no need to reinvent the wheel here.

But that is not the point!!

Of course having the microbiological diagnosis of COVID-19 is important, and of course PCR is important and pivotal.But does having the diagnosis of COVID-19 tell you, or the doctor, what to do about it?

Yes, it can tell you the need to isolate and self quarantine. Not go to work. Not go to school.

But beyond that?Does it tell you what to do? Does it tell you how to treat?

Should the infected person just panic and rush to the hospital and infect everyone there? No. That is exactly the wrong thing to do!!

Remember that at least 90% of COVID-19 cases are either asymptomatic or only manifest mild symptoms. These cases can be safely monitored and treated at home.

All these people need, is telehealth and resappdx.

For these people (90% of all cases), a cough everyday to the app will tell you reassuringly that your infection is still at the URTI stage. No need to panic.

But of course some cases will get worse. The same cough to the app everyday will inform you that your mild URTI is now turning into a more serious LRTI, or pneumonia. Now at this point you may need to take it more seriously. you should seek medical attention!

Still for others, perhaps the most at risk group, people with asthma or emphysema, the same cough to the app everyday will tell you if your infection is now complicated by your chronic lung condition. Now If that’s the case you need treatment for these complications now. Get onto the doctor NOW!

As you can see, all this monitoring are vital to management of every infected case.

You will also note that each infected case will need to use Resapp multiple times during their infection. So $5x10 per patient. But still million dollars cheaper than a hospital bed, and much cheaper and safer than home visits by doctors.

Safer too! All can take place safely at the patient’s own home. On his own phone. No risk of infecting others.

So hopefully you can see my point? ResappDx is required to complement the use of viral PCR (not replace it), to stage the disease, to monitor for progression, and to check for complications. Everyday. Every step of the way. The technology is indispensable. We will save money! We will save lives!! We don’t need 1.8 million isolation beds in Australia as Scott Morrison suggested. But we do need telehealth and ResappDx!!!!! Desperately!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that telehealth and ResappDx is absolutely needed for the current pandemic.

Hence my letter to the Department of Health in recent times to suggest its deployment. If we are to manage an increasingly massive group of sick people without the risk of cross infection then we need telehealth and Resapp!!”

I read your post earlier and yes I agree 100% that our technology will be perfect in every aspect of respiratory diagnosis in the future, both in ED's and Telehealth. My argument is not about what you posted at all....its about the people who think that ResAppDX could have some sort of bearing on this virus outbreak, that it should be rushed out and management should rush it out etc.....its nonsense. We are getting a totally new diagnosis tool through approvals and this can't be rushed at all....otherwise one mistake will ruin everything.

At this moment....every medical practitioner in the world is looking for Covid19 patients so that they can contain it. The by products of Covid19 are as we know Bronchitis, pneumonia etc. But they are the just by products and what comes from having the virus in some cases and the Covid19 testing kits can also diagnose those by products as well. While doctors are interested in finding out what is wrong with you....they will firstly want to know if you are carrying Covid19.

If ResAppDX could actually detect Covid19 through cough sounds as it does for the by products......then I could see it being rushed out world wide tomorrow....its a world first. But while this emergency is based on Covid19 first and foremost.....then our product will not be rushed out and used because it only does half the job and not the most important part.

It is terrible timing for us....but as I said earlier...it really does open up the eyes of the powers that be to the need for a more modern approach to diagnosis and treatments.....ie Telehealth.
