Startup detects COVID-19 using spit, light, and a computer built to analyze patterns
- August 23, 2022
Pattern Computer, a Seattle-based startup, is developing a rapid COVID-19 test based on patterns in light from spit.
In its seven years as a company, Pattern Computer has raised $26 million for its solutions in the biotech, veterinary medicine, finance, mathematics and aerospace industries. With a current valuation of $1.2 billion, the company is now seeking to raise $40 million to ramp up its new COVID-19 testing technology, which could have higher efficacy rates than the PCR tests used today.
