Abstract

The project group wants to produce new diagnostic tools in the form of tests that are easy to perform anywhere. In addition, the tests results will be readable within 30 mins and be cheaper than current tests. The impact of the project will be a larger amount of patients being able to be tested for COVID-19 and that the tests may be executed both in the acute wards as well as outside the hospital setting.
