Fendx Technologies files provisional patent application

Dr. Carolyn Myers reports AI-POWERED PATHOGEN DETECTION APP: PROVISIONAL PATENT FILED BY FENDX CEO Fendx Technologies Inc.'s chief executive officer, Dr. Carolyn Myers, has filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The application, titled "AI Adaptive App Pathogen Detection Platform" dated June 25, 2025, will be assigned to Fendx as part of its expanding portfolio of hygiene-related technologies. The invention described in the patent application is being designed to combine mobile-based imaging, biosensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable real-time detection of pathogens on surfaces using a mobile device such as a smart phone. The aim is to develop a portable, intelligent and user-friendly diagnostic tool for both consumer and professional use. "Traditional diagnostic methods are powerful but often take time to detect and identify pathogens, and they're usually limited to lab settings," said Dr. Carolyn Myers, Fendx chief executive officer and inventor. "This invention is part of our ongoing commitment to making surface protection smarter and I believe it shows how mobile devices and AI can work together to bring advanced pathogen detection directly to the user." About Fendx Technologies Inc. Fendx is a surface protection company leveraging its proprietary technology to develop product solutions that help reduce the spread of harmful pathogens in everyday environments. The company is advancing an eco-friendly, smart sponge designed to deliver effective cleaning while minimizing environmental impact.
