Abstract

Effective detection of infectious pathogens is crucial for disease prevention and control. We present an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) molecular diagnostic device featuring a WeChat mini-program for simultaneous detection and spatiotemporal mapping of respiratory pathogens. Leveraging social software's widespread usage, our device integrates seamlessly with WeChat, eliminating the need for app downloads and installations. Through a comprehensive detection system, including a user-friendly mini-program, a portable Point-of-Care fluorescence detector, and a diagnostic information management platform (EzDx Cloud), we demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity in detecting common respiratory viruses. Our SARS-CoV-2/H1N1 combo test kit, developed using a novel one-tube/one-step loop-mediated isothermal amplification-CRISPR method, shows remarkable performance. We address challenges in at-home nucleic acid testing by providing a cost-effective solution capable of detecting multiple pathogens simultaneously. Our system's versatility accommodates various assays operating at different temperatures and fluorescence intensities, offering significant advantages over traditional methods. Moreover, integration with EzDx Cloud facilitates disease monitoring and early warning systems, enhancing public health management. This study highlights the potential of our IoT molecular diagnostic device in revolutionizing infectious disease detection and control, with wide-ranging applications in both human and animal population.
