The Big Story Ep 39: Automating Covid-19 nasal swabbing to be faster and more comfortable
2:33 mins
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
A robot that carries out nasal swabbing to diagnose Covid-19 has been developed by clinicians who say the automated procedure is safe, faster and more comfortable when compared with manual swab tests.
The made-in-Singapore bot is the first that allows patients to fully control the swab process so they are more comfortable. Dr Rena Dharmawan of the National Cancer Centre Singapore explains how patients can activate and terminate the machine at will.
