Abstract

The Bloom system will enable users to carry out laboratory tests themselves in a few minutes - from a few drops of blood in the fingertip, at home or at test partners such as pharmacies. The results are output on the smartphone via the Bloom app as a report, which also includes health data on the result of the blood test and presents it in an understandable manner. The Bloom COVID-19 test will detect IgG antibodies and evaluate symptoms together with Covid and show whether the user has been in contact with the virus and has developed an immune response against the virus. The Bloom Covid19 test is the first rapid antibody test that is networked - the results are encrypted and can provide valuable data in anonymous form when fighting pandemics.
