We could soon be coughing into our phones to see if we have COVID – Digital Trends
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed an algorithm that can tell if you have COVID-19 simply by analyzing the sound of your cough.
Imagine if you could open an app on your smartphone and simply cough to discover right there and then if you have COVID-19.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have developed such a method, which could be used as part of broader measures to get the virus under control.
