How The COVID Hunter scanner works

The scanner looks very much like a regular temperature scanner, but it does much more. It emits a beam and gathers information that is analyzed in real-time thanks to refraction, ultimately detecting if the spike protein of the virus is present.

If the scanner detects the spike protein it lets out an alarm sound, otherwise, it remains silent.

In tests, The COVID Hunter showed an over 99 percent accuracy rate, was able to differentiate between positive and negative patients and detected COVID-19 positive samples validated via a PCR test.

“The handheld COVID Hunter will revolutionize the way SARS-CoV-2 (including mutated strains) is detected, slowing the spread of the deadly virus, saving lives, and returning life to ‘normal’ in the near future,” explained Donald Redman, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of AMSI.
