Researchers from the Embedded Systems Laboratory have created a new application for detecting coronavirus by cough.
So, users only need to write down theircough on a smartphone, and the Coughvid application, which was developed based on artificial intelligence, will determine the presence of coronavirus. ”The app is 70% accurate. However, people who think they may have this disease should still go to their doctor. The application does not replace a medical examination,” – the developers warned.
At the moment, the research team is completinga database in order to teach the application to distinguish the cough of people with coronavirus from healthy people with the presence of other types of respiratory diseases. According to David Atienz, head of ESL and a member of the Coughvid development team, the application will be released as soon as enough data has been accumulated. He also noted that this could take several weeks.
