How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
FREDsense is building a portable COVID19 measurement sensor for wastewater and industrial analysis. The COVID19 virus can be found within wastewater and public health experts are already exploring how to be able to monitor the virus throughout community sewers. A single sewer test could be the equivalent of understanding thousands of patient tests, providing rapid measurement response. FREDsense is uniquely positioned to provide this data in the field without the need of expensive lab tests or time-consuming analysis. This will allow public health agencies and industrial organizations to understand how the pandemic is affecting their communities and operations in real-time without the need of invasive testing. FREDsense has identified an Asia wide distributor who is actively looking to develop the solution with us.
