Summary

This study evaluates a new digital test that people can use at home to detect COVID-19 and influenza A and B from a nasal swab. Participants with symptoms will use the test themselves and compare the results to a standard lab PCR test. The goal is to see if the test is accurate enough for over-the-counter use, potentially offering a convenient way to identify these infections without visiting a clinic.
