Interesting work from MIT. They claim that it’s highly possible to determine COVID/non-COVID by the sound of a cough. They write that the accuracy of detection is 98.5%, and it’s 100% among the sample of asymptomatic (but positive) individuals. They trained an AI with several thousand recordings; you can submit your own cough through their little form. The diagnostic service or app is not yet available for phones. An interesting topic, might significantly change the global statistics and early diagnosis scene.
