The Big Story Ep 39: Automating Covid-19 nasal swabbing to be faster and more comfortable  2:33 mins Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story. A robot that carries out nasal swabbing to diagnose Covid-19 has been developed by clinicians who say the automated procedure is safe, faster and more comfortable when compared with manual swab tests. The made-in-Singapore bot is the first that allows patients to fully control the swab process so they are more comfortable. Dr Rena Dharmawan of the National Cancer Centre Singapore explains how patients can activate and terminate the machine at will.  Produced and edited by: ST Video team and Muhammad Firmann Discover The Straits Times Videos: https://str.sg/JPrc Discover ST & BT podcasts: Channel: https://str.sg/JWVR Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2PwZCYU Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2Lu4rPP Google podcasts: http://str.sg/googlestbt Websites: http://str.sg/stbtpodcasts https://bt.sg/moneyhacks Feedback to: [email protected]  --- Discover more niche podcast series by ST and BT below: Follow Money Hacks Podcast on: http://bt.sg/btmoneyhacks Follow Health Check Podcast on: https://str.sg/JWaN Follow Asian Insider Podcast on: https://str.sg/JWa7 Follow Green Pulse Podcast on: https://str.sg/JWaf Follow Lifestyle Picks Podcast on: https://str.sg/JWa2 Follow #PopVultures Podcast on: https://str.sg/JWad Follow Bookmark This!
