Artificial intelligence diagnoses disease by listening to your voice

Over the past few years technology has been finding a way to produce more and more innovative ways to diagnose disease, but now it has a new party trick – disease detection by voice analysis – and it's just as it sounds, if you excuse the pun. You talk, it analyses your voice and screens for illnesses. We're all used to being able to tell when someone's ill by just listening to their voice – on the phone for example. If someone has a cold then they sound nasal, and we know that and we can ask them if they have a cold. If they're slurring then again we can hear it and we can ask them what's wrong.
