Systems and methods for non-invasive determination of COVID-19 coronavirus infection

A high throughput method for label-free, noncontact, noninvasive, and nondestructive detection of at least one virus infected or virus free individual from at least one tested individual is provided. The method includes collecting a sample from exhaled breath of a subject for analysis of the sample. The collecting includes the subject exhaling into at least one sampler and collecting aerosols and/or any airborne compound from the exhaled breath by passing the exhaled breath through a metamaterial membrane within the sampler. The metamaterial membrane is arranged transverse to a flow of exhaled breath through the sampler. The method further includes analyzing the sample for detection of at least one virus infected individual from at least one tested individual.

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for estimating maximum heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake from submaximal exercise intensities

A system for estimating maximum heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake from submaximal exercise intensities can include an exercise intensity monitor, a cardiopulmonary monitor, and one or more computers. The computers can be configured, by virtue of appropriate programming, to receive submaximal exercise intensity data from the exercise intensity monitor and submaximal cardiopulmonary data from the cardiopulmonary monitor while a user, who coupled to the exercise intensity monitor and the cardiopulmonary monitor, is performing an exercise at a submaximal exercise intensity. The one or more computers then determine a heuristic estimate of a maximal cardiopulmonary state of the user based on the submaximal exercise intensity data and the submaximal cardiopulmonary data.
