Can This Israeli Company Detect COVID 19 Just By Listening to You?

Vocalis Health is an Israel based AI healthtech company that says it has developed a new software that can analyse a person's voice and use that to detect if they have COVID 19 or not. According to the company, vocal biomarkers from people's recorded voices can be used to screen, detect, monitor and predict health symptoms, conditions and diseases. Vocalis Health is currently focused on screening users for COVID-19 and on monitoring patients with chronic diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, and Pulmonary Hypertension. The company shared the results of a study it carried out last month in Mumbai, to test its tool VocalisCheck. According to Vocalis, the study covered over 2,000 participants who spoke in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Marahi, and Gujarati.
