SmartSense system unveiled - for instant bird flu detection

SmartSense, which also detects HIV, tuberculosis, MRSA, E.coli, anthrax and smallpox, among others, works by capturing the electronic signature of a virus or biological agent, which it then instantly recognises. Once SmartSense has identified the presence of a virus, those operating the system are alerted.


According to the company's chief executive officer and board chairman, Dr James P Wade Jr, by using SmartSense an outbreak of human avian flu can be detected and isolated in its early stages so that prevention, vaccines, and treatment can immediately be administered.
