Rapid Olfactory Tools for Telemedicine-friendly COVID-19 Screening and Surveillance
Abstract Text: The COVID-19 pandemic is the most devastating infectious disease outbreak in a century, particularly in underserved and minoritized communities. In 2020 alone, it will cost a million lives. It continues to wreak economic havoc worldwide. Therefore, it is critical to develop new tools that can mitigate the spread of SARS- CoV-2, the virus…

Longitudinal at Home Smell Testing to Detect Infection by SARS-CoV-2
Abstract Text: Self-report of sudden loss of smell or taste substantially increases the odds of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 (10 – 37-fold). However, self-report of smell function is an unreliable predictor of smell loss. Based on our experience developing smell tests with personalized algorithms for asymptomatic detection of Alzheimer’s disease, we created a self-administered easy…

A Confectionary-based Screening Tool for Assessing Chemosensory Loss in COVID-19 Patients
Abstract Text: The goals of this Emergency Competitive Revision are to develop (Aim 1) and deploy (Aim 2) a novel, objective, psychophysical smell and taste screening test to detect the onset of COVID 19 in at-risk populations. Complementary to the temperature screening procedures currently in use, this tool is predicted to promote early identification of…

SCENTinel: A Rapid Smell Test for COVID-19 Surveillance
Abstract Text: Smell loss is a predominant symptom of COVID-19, and initial evidence based on self-reports suggests that chemosensory loss is a sensitive predictor of COVID-19 in the general population, more so than fever. However, given the natural lack of awareness of chemosensory changes, self-reports underestimate the true prevalence of smell loss in patients with…
