New breathalyzer aims to sniff out COVID-19 in seconds
NCT ID NCT06402318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a breathalyzer kiosk that can detect COVID-19, flu, and RSV by analyzing a person's breath. About 100 adults, both with and without symptoms, will breathe into the device, and the results will be compared to standard nasal swab tests. The goal is to see if this quick, non-invasive method can accurately identify infections.
