Smart pooling: AI-powered COVID-19 informative group testing

Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff

Massive molecular testing for COVID-19 has been pointed out as fundamental to moderate the spread of the pandemic. Pooling methods can enhance testing efficiency, but they are viable only at low incidences of the disease. We propose Smart Pooling, a machin ...

Wastewater monitoring outperforms case numbers as a tool to track COVID-19 incidence dynamics when test positivity rates are high

Tamar Kohn, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre, Federica Cariti, Alex Tunas Corzon, Timothy R. Julian, Carola Bänziger

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been shown to coincide with, or anticipate, confirmed COVID-19 case numbers. During periods with high test positivity rates, however, case numbers may be underreported, whereas wastewater does not suffer from this li ...
