Therma Bright’s contribution will be Covisafe, a small, saliva-based device held between the thumb and forefinger very much like a pregnancy test, which will test for COVID-19. In addition to Orpheus’s underlying computational analysis and a sensitivity/specificity rating above 95%, the test will take less than 20 minutes, said Fia. “I have heard about other saliva-based tests, but you still have to provide a sample that must be sent to a lab. It is not as effective or as quick as what we’re proposing to create here with this product.”
