The new device works by analyzing a small saliva sample and transmitting the results wirelessly to a user’s smartphone. This enables people to monitor their vitamin C levels and increase their intake if necessary, thus aiding in the prevention and control of COVID-19.
The disposable test strips the device uses are inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Similar to the glucose monitors used by diabetes patients, the researchers say the device offers an accessible and cost-effective way to track health markers at home, with the potential for expansion to measure additional factors in the future.
