Coughvid app uses AI to detect COVID-19 from coughing sounds
The COVID-10 pandemic has had many countries and health workers scrambling due to a lack of resources, both in terms of equipment but also in terms of health workers. In addition to the limited availability of testing kits, people conducting tests are already stretched thin as it is that many governments are offloading the screening of potential testing candidates to third-parties. Screening sites like Alphabet's Verily have risen up to the occasion but one research team is testing a simple AI-based app to do what a doctor usually does at first: listening to your cough. The app, cleverly named Coughvid, is a simple web app that can run on any web browser on any device that has a mic. The idea is really simple.
