UK University Spinout to Launch Real-Time Water Quality App Amid Swimmer Illness Reports

Molendotech, a University of Plymouth spinout, is set to launch a new application that will provide live water quality maps for UK and US waters. The app will collate data from daily tests designed to detect E. coli and other harmful bacteria, offering immediate results without the need for lengthy laboratory analysis.

This initiative comes at a critical time, as numerous reports emerge of swimmers falling ill after entering coastal waters. The rapid testing capabilities of Molendotech's technology aim to provide the public with up-to-date information on water safety, addressing growing concerns about waterborne illnesses.
