System and method for training canines to detect covid-19 by scent for implementation in mobile sweeps

A system for detecting a virus or a disease using a trained canine including:

• at least one wearable device;
• at least one remote device including a graphical user interface (GUI);
• and
• at least one remote server including a predictive analytics component;
• wherein the at least one wearable device, the at least one remote device, and the at least one remote server are in network communication;
• wherein the at least one wearable device is positioned on the canine;
• wherein the at least one wearable device is configured to collect canine data;
• wherein the at least one wearable device is further configured to transmit canine data to the at least one remote device and the at least one remote server;
• wherein the canine data includes positioning data, wherein the positioning data includes location data;
• wherein the canine is configured to detect the virus or the disease via scent;
• wherein the canine is configured to generate a response when the canine detects the virus and/or the disease;
• wherein the at least one wearable device is configured to determine when the canine has generated the response;
• wherein the at least one wearable device is configured to generate an alert to the at least one remote device;
• wherein the at least one remote device is configured to display the alert and the canine data via the GUI;
• and
• wherein the at least one remote server is further configured to store historical data, wherein the historical data includes prior detection data, detection area data, detection area type data, and/or detection time data.

A method of detecting a virus or a disease in a public space comprising:

• providing a canine including at least one wearable device in the public space;
• monitoring the movement of the canine through and/or around the public space;
• the canine detecting at least one volatile organic compound specific to the virus or the disease;
• the canine generating at least one response when the canine detects the at least one voltaic organic compound;
• the at least one wearable device detecting the at least one response;
• the at least one wearable device capturing canine data, wherein the canine data includes positioning data of the canine;
• the at least one wearable device transmitting an alert and the canine data to at least one remote device;
• and
• displaying the alert and the canine data via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the at least one remote device.
