Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current available diagnostic methods used for the detection of COVID-19 takes up to 4 hours. In some cases, these diagnostics tests make take up to a couple of days. As it is highly contagious, people who are in close contact with the infected person are at high risk of being infected. COVID-19 is transmitted through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The desire for rapid detection of COVID-19 has become an immediate necessity. The purpose of Kaligia Biosciences' saliva monitoring device (RBA-2) is to detect the presence of the COVID-19 virus in human saliva. The RBA-2 uses Raman Spectros-copy to detect the coronavirus. Once the sample is scanned successfully, the spectra contains the response of the component present in human saliva and provide results in a matter of minutes, rather than hours or days.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to calibrate the performance of RBA-2 using people by comparing the results against a standard diagnostics test. The objective of this study is to collect non-invasive in vivo saliva from confirmed cases of both infected and non-infected COVID-19 patients or site staff at the testing site and compare the test results using the RBA-2 against the standard test results used for diagnosis.

The comparison of the results obtained from the current testing methods will be used to calibrate machine learning algorithms of the RBA-2.
