Brief Summary:
Solving the problem of detecting asymptomatic carriers who can transmit infection is key to protecting vulnerable residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, to protecting frontline workers who care for them, and to facilitating return to work (including return of nurses and medical assistants).
The wearable biometric technology, if widely disseminated among vulnerable populations and the community-at-large, will help avoid the ravages of seasonal flu and other contagious illnesses, and the society will be better prepared for future waves of COVID-19 or other pandemics. Even if a vaccine is developed, due to immune senescence and immunocompromise, elderly people and those with chronic medical conditions may not be well protected by it. Continuous biomonitoring provides another layer of protection for them.

Detailed Description:
1. Building the algorithm for early, pre-symptomatic DETECTION OF RESPIRATORY VIRAL INFECTION and for predicting eventual DETERIORATION.
2. Create an APP that AUTOMATES these algorithms and clearly REPORTS ACTIONABLE RESULTS to users, i.e., to medical professionals and citizens-at-large in near-real time. If alerted to a possible - and likely still asymptomatic - COVID-19 infection, they can self-isolate or be quarantined, get confirmatory COVID-19 testing done promptly, limit transmission to others, and stay safe knowing that if they are likely to deteriorate, the algorithm will alert the participants and their caregivers to the need to obtain medical attention promptly.
