Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical testing technology, specifically to a COVID-19 test kit method based on big data. Background Technology
[0002] COVID-19 test kits are medical tools used to detect infection with the novel coronavirus. They help determine whether a person is infected by detecting the presence of specific genetic material or antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the body. The process primarily involves collecting nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs, or saliva samples, extracting viral RNA, and performing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection. This method can accurately detect the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is suitable for early detection.
[0003] The COVID-19 test kit method based on big data mainly relies on technologies such as data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). It combines traditional medical testing with the processing of large-scale data, optimizes the testing process, and improves accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. By analyzing a large amount of case data, test kit results, and viral genome information, it is possible to identify viral mutation patterns, transmission routes, and the differences in the effectiveness of different types of testing methods in different populations.
[0004] Traditional COVID-19 test kits typically use fixed nucleic acid amplification targets and antigen detection schemes designed based on known viral gene sequences. During testing, sample processing and analysis rely on large laboratory equipment, making the process complex, time-consuming, and unable to respond promptly to rapid viral mutations. Due to continuous changes in the viral genome, fixed-design detection targets cannot effectively identify new variants, leading to decreased detection sensitivity and false negatives. The specificity of the tests is also low. Cross-reactions with other pathogens similar to COVID-19 may occur, leading to false positives. Furthermore, the update speed of test kits is slow. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a COVID-19 test kit detection method based on big data. This method solves the problems of complex and time-consuming testing processes that rely on large laboratory equipment, the inability to respond promptly to rapid viral mutations, the inability of fixed-design detection targets to effectively identify new variants leading to missed detections, and the potential for cross-reactions with other pathogens similar to COVID-19, resulting in misdiagnosis.

Then, the analysis information is directly uploaded to the platform through the network function to form real-time feedback and analysis.
[0018] In S1, the viral gene database includes GISAID or the National Gene Bank data platform. Real-time mutation information is used to construct a dynamically updated genome database. The COVID-19 virus information includes high-frequency mutation sites and key gene regions. The kit includes modules covering nucleic acid, antigen, and antibody. Artificial intelligence algorithms include convolutional neural networks, graph neural networks, recurrent neural networks, generative adversarial networks, reinforcement learning networks, deep belief networks, long short-term memory networks, and transfer learning.
[0019] Specifically, this invention relies on a global viral gene database and artificial intelligence algorithms, including convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory networks, and transfer learning, to dynamically collect and analyze mutation information of the novel coronavirus, generating nucleic acid amplification targets and antigen detection targets in real time. Based on this modular design, the kit encompasses nucleic acid, antigen, and antibody detection modules, enabling rapid adaptation to new variants while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity. Utilizing a dynamically updated genome database and high-frequency mutation analysis, the kit's nucleic acid and antigen target design can adapt to rapidly mutating viral strains, significantly reducing the false negative rate. During use, the automatic learning mechanism of artificial intelligence can quickly discover new high-frequency mutation sites, shortening the kit iteration cycle from the traditional weeks to a few days, achieving rapid iteration of detection technology. The multi-target amplification scheme of the nucleic acid module covers conserved regions and mutation hotspots, ensuring detection sensitivity and stable detection even with viral mutations. The antigen module is optimized based on the mutated protein epitope structure, maintaining the broad spectrum and specificity of antigen detection. The antibody module detects patient antibody levels through dynamically designed virus-specific antigen epitopes, improving the ability to discriminate patient infection history and immune status.
[0020] In S2, rapid initial screening includes testing using saliva or serum samples. Multi-target amplification is used to ensure the sensitivity and coverage specificity of the test. Mutation analysis is used to verify the test results and optimize the kit design. Each of the three-layer testing process has a test method and sample type, and the different test methods and sample types are used to complement and connect with each other.
[0021] Specifically, the testing process is divided into three layers. The first layer, rapid initial screening, uses saliva or serum samples for antigen or antibody testing to screen potential infected individuals in a low-cost and efficient manner. The second layer, nucleic acid testing, uses a multi-target amplification strategy to cover key gene regions and mutation hotspots, ensuring the sensitivity and specificity of the test. The third layer uses high-throughput sequencing to analyze mutations in abnormal samples, verifying test results and optimizing reagent kit design. These three layers, through the connection and complementarity of different sample types and testing methods, form a complete testing system. This allows for a rapid initial screening stage suitable for large-scale population screening, reducing testing costs and improving screening efficiency; a nucleic acid testing confirmation stage providing accurate diagnosis, significantly reducing false positives and missed detections; and a high-throughput sequencing verification stage for in-depth analysis of difficult samples, optimizing reagent kit target design. The overall process balances efficiency and accuracy, adapting to different scenario needs, achieving full coverage from rapid screening to accurate diagnosis, effectively supporting epidemic prevention and control and public health decision-making.
[0022] In S3, the big data analysis platform is used to summarize test results, viral genome information and epidemiological data, as well as to provide real-time analysis, prediction, optimization support and data sharing functions. It is also used to assist in precise epidemic prevention and control decision-making for high-risk groups or areas.
[0023] Specifically, the big data analysis platform of this invention aggregates test results, viral genome information, and epidemiological data. Through machine learning and statistical modeling, it analyzes the epidemic transmission trend in real time, predicts potential risk areas and populations, and provides optimization support for testing strategies. The platform supports real-time data sharing, enabling coordinated testing and control strategies across different regions. By identifying high-risk areas and populations, it provides precise prevention and control recommendations. Thus, in practice, the platform achieves real-time monitoring and accurate prediction of epidemic transmission, effectively identifies high-risk populations or areas, and provides scientific decision-making support for public health departments. Through data sharing and optimization support, it improves the efficiency and targeting of the testing process, optimizes resource allocation, reduces the risk of epidemic spread, and significantly enhances the responsiveness and overall efficiency of epidemic prevention and control.
[0024] In S4, the target dynamic adjustment mechanism is used to update viral genome data in real time. The variation information includes changes in gene sequence, spike protein variation, key site mutation, protein structure change, antigenic epitope change, and viral strain classification and evolutionary relationship.
[0025] Specifically, the target dynamic adjustment mechanism acquires viral genome data in real time, identifying gene sequence changes, spike protein mutations, key site mutations, protein structure alterations, antigenic epitope changes, and the classification and evolutionary relationships of viral strains. Artificial intelligence algorithms analyze this variation information to dynamically generate optimized nucleic acid amplification targets and antigen detection targets, which are then rapidly updated through modular reagent kits, achieving efficient adaptation to new variants. This target dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures the detection system can quickly respond to the challenges posed by viral mutations, avoiding missed detections and misdiagnoses due to mutations. By accurately capturing variation information and optimizing target design in real time, the sensitivity and specificity of the reagent kit are significantly improved, while the kit iteration cycle is shortened, production costs are reduced, and strong support is provided for rapid response to sudden outbreaks and the spread of new variants.
