Mold detection device
MUDA is a mold recognition apparatus that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify toxigenic mold species found in homes, such as Stachybotrys (black mold), Alternaria, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.
Problem Statement
Exposure to mold in high-humidity areas can be a health hazard, and the currently available solutions rely on mold inspections from specialists that are costly and time-consuming.
Opportunity
A system that takes into account the challenges associated with traditional mold detection methods can enhance people's safety.
