Can COVID-19 be detected by coughing?

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is currently developing a system that will make it easier for people who have contracted COVID-19 to be identified with their cough.

As the days progressed, the pandemic continues to cause damage worldwide. Many countries have made the decision to lock again, a decision with far-reaching consequences for small businesses and other sectors.

In an article published in the IEEE (Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology), an MIT team stated that it was about to set up a system Recognize people who have contracted Covid-19.

Detect COVID-19 by coughing?

The Independent writes that an MIT team is developing:

… an artificial intelligence model that distinguishes asymptomatic people from healthy people thanks to … forced cough records.

For this purpose, American researchers are collecting online beta testers. They ask volunteers to do it Record them coughing on their phone or with your computer.

MIT researchers want Compare ‘healthy’ cough to sick cough. As the Independent reports:

The differences between the coughing of asymptomatic and that of healthy people are imperceptible to the ear, but can be recognized by artificial intelligence.

According to the American study, tens of thousands of cough samples were taken Artificial intelligence accurately identified 98.5% of the coughs from people who contracted COVID-19. That is a great medical breakthroughwhich will hopefully be implemented in the coming months.
