Keri's Dog a Day Drawing Challenge · 1 March 2021

Dogs have an incredible sense and it is well known they can accurately detect the odour of human disease. We believe that our medical detection dogs can be trained to detect COVID-19 and be an important part of the efforts to overcome this epidemic.

Story

COVID-19 has caused a worldwide healthcare crisis.When it comes to controlling COVID-19, time is of the essence. We have a robust solution.COVID-19 Detection DogsWe we are confident that dogs could be used as a rapid diagnostic screen to detect COVID-19 infected individuals. COVID-19 Detection Dogs could triage high numbers incredibly quickly a 4 dog team could screen up to 1,000 people per hour to supplement ongoing testing and help prioritise the use of limited resources. Dogs could be used in public spaces such as airports to identify travellers arriving to the country either without symptoms or who are pre-symptomatic. Our dogs would provide rapid, accurate and non-invasive screening. An early warning system with the potential for rapid isolation. The presence of a trained dog would both indicate individuals who are incubating the disease and those who are may be mildly symptomatic but non-compliant and who require testing.
