Researchers at MIT have found a way to use AI to diagnose COVID-19 without a nasal swab or blood draw. It can be done with a cellphone recording of a forced cough. And even diagnose COVID-19 when a person claims to have no symptoms. The program detects tiny differences in the sounds. We can’t even tell. The AI is 100 percent accurate.
Examples.
Here’s the sound of healthy person coughing
Here’s the sound of a person with COVID-19 with no symptoms
The two above sound a lot alike.
The sound of a person with COVID-19 and detectable symptoms
The person in the last one sounds sick, for sure.
