Abstract

Additional funding for the I-sense IRC to address the COVID-19 Pandemic. Vision: To harness the multidisciplinary expertise within the i-sense EPSRC IRC track and test Flagship programmes to address the key challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; namely early identification of infection in the community through online data sources and point-of-care diagnostic tests (PoCT) linked to national health systems. We request £500K of emergency funding initially to seed a 12 month 'Plus Award' focused on urgent national needs
