SmellTracker

SmellTracker Overview

SmellTracker is an online platform designed to help users self-monitor their sense of smell for the early detection of COVID-19. The SmellTracker platform uses an algorithm that charts smell perception using common household items, including spices, vinegar, toothpaste, baking extracts, and peanut butter. The algorithm was developed by the laboratory of Prof. Noam Sobel at the Weizmann Institutes Department of Neurobiology in collaboration with the Edith Wolfson Medical Center. The venture was launched with backing from the Ministry of Defense and is currently available in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, with forthcoming releases in Swedish, French, Japanese, Spanish, German, and Persian.

Self-test your sense of smell to help detect coronavirus

The Weizmann Institute has developed an online platform called SmellTracker that allows individuals to self-monitor their sense of smell to detect early signs of Covid-19. The platform uses a mathematical model to create an individuals unique olfactory fingerprint and guides users through an odor test to identify any sudden changes in smell perception. The test has already identified potential coronavirus cases that were later confirmed. The venture is backed by the Ministry of Defense and will be promoted in several countries. Additionally, the institute is distributing scratch and smell kits to confirmed coronavirus patients to map their sense of smell.

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have developed an online platform called SmellTracker that allows individuals to self-monitor their sense of smell to detect early signs of COVID-19 infection. The platform uses an algorithm to characterize an individuals unique sense of smell and can identify sudden changes in odor perception that may indicate the onset of the virus. The researchers have already identified potential coronavirus cases with the tool. The project is backed by the Defense Ministry and will be promoted in several countries. The online test is currently available in multiple languages.
