Photo by Gerard Julien/AFPthe launch of the CoVIg-19 Plasma Bot,"a self-screening tool that anyone can use to see if they qualify to donate their plasma."
In order to make the antibodies available to people, the program will be needing donors. The bot seeks to speed up the process by allowing the recovered COVID-19 patient themselves to find out if they are a qualified plasma donor. Recruitment, done through the CoVIg site, will start in the US, and then expand to Europe. Microsoft hasn't announced whether the program will expand further.
With enough donations, the Alliance hopes to soon be able to manufacture a potential therapy and start the clinical trials. The trials will seek if the antibody therapy"could help high-risk COVID-19 patients recover and whether it could protect high-risk individuals from the disease."
