L2M Validate East Health program – Market Analysis for a Real-Time Viral Detection Breathalyzer

We proposed a breath analyzer to identify viruses by utilizing an affordable fiber coupler. This sensor captures the optical absorbance spectrum, which contains the unique signatures of viruses present in the breath. The device is user-friendly: simply exhale into the analyzer to receive results. Our product addresses the traditional challenges of virus detection, eliminating high costs, lengthy wait times for results, and invasive sampling methods. This L2M Validate program allows the intern to obtain market data for this product.
