Noze (air quality assessment device)

2021: Air Quality AI Monitor Announcement

In mid-August 2021 CanadianAIstartup Stratuscent-, who developed digital sense of smell technology, introduced the world's first Noze air quality AI monitor, which will be able to determine the presence of coronavirus particles COVID-19 flu in the air.

According to the developers, Noze is the world's first technology to track volatile markers (volatile organic VOC compounds) released by infected people with COVID-19 coronavirus and influenza. In addition, Noze can detect a wide range of other toxins commonly found in indoor air.

Noze Air Quality Assessment Device

Noze helps people assess the characteristics of inhaled air, informs them of the presence of pollution and allows them to take measures to protect their health and well-being. With AI, Noze assesses the presence of airborne coronavirus and influenza virus particles, monitors the risk of indoor mold, and monitors the content of nine other contaminants, thereby providing customers with important information about indoor air quality. Noze AI algorithms quantify viral risk on a 10-point scale as the first line of protection indoors - from the risk of virus transmission (spread) to the probability of virus presence.

Recent data have shown that the main route of coronavirus transmission is air-drip, that is, infection occurs when inhaling aerosol drops that enter the air when an infected person exhales, talks, sneezes or coughs. At the same time, COVID-19 virus particles can travel a distance of more than 10 meters and remain contagious for several hours in enclosed rooms. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WHO and other organizations around the world have recognized that coronavirus is airborne and updated their information to include relevant recommendations.^[1]
