“You’re going to see who the superspreaders are or who potentially might be spreading the virus more than others,” Medivolve CEO David Preiner said.
Preiner believes the new technology could be a viable substitute for the traditional nasal swab COVID-19 test and could be used in drive-through testing or within schools.
“It makes it very easy to gather samples on a routine basis with no fear of it’s going to hurt,” Preiner explained.
And even as the effects of the pandemic become less prominent, Preiner said COVID-19 testing will still have to be a priority.
“Staying on top of testing even in areas that are asymptomatic I think is critical because the goal is you want to catch a flare-up the moment it pops up,” Preiner said.
