Abstract
We present a remote, real-time wastewater monitoring system using a fiber-optic biosensor combined with machine learning to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies in untreated wastewater. The system is autonomous, requires no sample transport or preparation, and shows strong classification accuracy even in a complex matrix. The solution supports the early detection of epidemic outbreaks and aligns with current European directives on urban wastewater surveillance
