The Pentagon is working on an algorithm to detect Covid early.
Preliminary results of the study, “show the algorithm’s projected accuracy is about 82 percent with a false positive rate of 11 percent over a 14-day period.” This is one of a few groups working on early detection with wearables. What […]
