Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel spectroscopy method enhanced with machine learning for real-time detection of infectious agents in wastewater.
- To enable rapid screening of inflammatory conditions and infectious diseases in community settings.
- To reduce the time and cost associated with traditional infectious disease detection.
Main Methods:
- Utilized spectroscopy in the 220-750 nm range.
- Employed machine learning algorithms for data analysis and prediction.
- Integrated absorption spectrophotometry with machine learning for detection.
Main Results:
- Achieved up to 68% accuracy in prediction models.
