Abstract: The detection of antigens plays a key role in many diagnostic tests, but current methods often prove to be complex and expensive. There is a pressing need for a simple, fast, reliable, and cost-effective system for quantitative determination of antigens, suitable for both users and laboratories (photometer). The system will analyze patient fluid samples for a group of viruses, using monoclonal antibodies and different wavelengths of light measured by the photometer. Today, many people actively monitor their health and purchase expensive "smartwatches" to keep track of key indicators. The research hypothesis is that by analyzing continuous physiological data collected through a wearable device and information provided by patients via a cloud analytical platform, it is possible to detect physiological changes and important clinical signals that may indicate the early stages of various diseases, including viral infections. The sensor can play a special role during pandemics. Bluetooth connectivity with a smartphone and «smartwatches» equipped with the appropriate application will allow real-time remote transmission of all physiological data. Socially, such an analytical system will help people monitor critical health indicators, ensure early disease detection, and study multiple antigens simultaneously. This will give individuals confidence in their health status and the ability to improve their quality of life.
