I worked on one of these projects. This technology has amazing potential for (near) real time detection and monitoring of the spread of airborne disease throughout society. Think shoe box sized air samplers in common spaces that send real time data to monitoring health agencies, alert when a space is contaminated, and so on. The same tech platform can also be used to inexpensively and quickly test individuals. Unfortunately the funding for continuation was lost in the shambles of the partial collapse of Getinge a few years ago. I was not able to find anyone else interested to continue funding the prototype development when the remnants of Getinge did not prioritise the project. Near real time in this case can mean as little as a few hours. We had a total funding of ca EUR 5M for the first prototyping project. If anyone has interest and money, I can pull together people and ip.
