Sometimes, artificial intelligence knows more about us than we know about ourselves. And when it comes to diagnosing Covid-19, that could be a pandemic-fighting boon.
Researchers from MIT have developed an algorithm they say can differentiate the forced coughs of asymptomatic people who have Covid from those of healthy people. They are currently working on a free app that would enable anyone to cough into their smartphone, and essentially get a pre-screening of whether they might have Covid, even if they don’t have symptoms.
The researchers published their paper in the IEEE Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology, and the MIT News spoke with the team about the research to learn more. Read more…
