CES 2021: Bosch – coronavirus test in 39 minutes

Bosch bets on AIoT by harnessing the power of big data, artificial intelligence AI and the Internet of Things IoT .

“

We combined AI and Internet connectivity to form an AIoT that will help us improve energy efficiency and fight coronavirus

, – Says Michael Bolle, Bosch board member. –

AIoT has enormous potential. We’re already uncovering it, and we plan to expand our efforts in the future

“.

Under the slogan “Sustainable #LikeABosch,” the company unveiled smart solutions for health, life and mobility at the CES 2021 virtual technology show.

• First self-learning AI sensor for wearable and audible devices with fitness tracker functionality. Because the AI is installed in the sensor itself, there’s no longer a need to connect to the Internet during exercise – increasing energy efficiency and data privacy.
• A sensor that measures air quality and relative humidity. It provides information about the concentration of pollutants in the air.
• Bosch security cameras now monitor not only intruders but also dangerous viruses. AI allows them to perform a wide range of specific tasks. For example, cameras with built-in intelligent video analytics measure body temperature noncontactly, with a maximum deviation of only half a degree.
• The Bosch Security and Safety Things startup’s cameras can determine whether the number of people in a store meets existing coronavirus restrictions.
  

  The platform has been awarded the 2021 CES Innovation Award Honoree.

• Portable hemoglobin monitor can detect anemia with a finger scan. Particularly well-suited for regions with low access to medical care. Equipped with artificial intelligence, the hemoglobin monitor delivers results within 30 seconds – no need for a lab test or blood draw.

Coronavirus PCR test on Bosch Vivalytic gives results in 30 minutes.

Laboratories, doctors’ offices, nursing homes and hospitals can evaluate five samples simultaneously in 39 minutes.

Thanks to the advanced software, positive samples can even be detected in less than 30 minutes.

This development of the Vivalytic system, consisting of an analytical device and test cartridges, is the result of years of collaboration between Bosch’s advanced engineering and the Bosch Healthcare Solutions and Robert Bosch Hospital divisions.
