Investigations to detect people infected with coronavirus keep moving forward and now with a mobile app you can already know if a person has COVID-19 and is asymptomatic just coughing into the cell phone.
The creation of this app was in charge of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, United States. The development uses artificial intelligence to recognize asymptomatic people who carry the coronavirus listening to the cough on the phone. They claim you have a success rate close to 100%.
The developers explained that from the mouth a characteristic sound comes out that, although it is indistinguishable to the human ear, does not escape the algorithm, which has a success rate close to 100%, according to the first tests published in the IEEE Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology, according to the agency ANSA.

With these developments, MIT assured that it could soon lead to the development of a free smartphone app for the mass case detection.
“The implementation of this tool could slow the spread of the pandemic if everyone used it before going to school, a factory or a restaurant or shop “, explained the researcher Brian Subirana.
The group of scientists had begun to develop a neural network (called ResNet50) to recognize the Alzheimer’s patients by the force expressed by your vocal cords during the induced cough. With the outbreak of the pandemic, they tried adapt the system training you to recognize Covid-19 patients.

The system is powered with audio recordings of coughs collected on the web thanks to the collaboration of healthy and unhealthy volunteers, including people affected by the new coronavirus (both symptomatic and asymptomatic).
Tested with thousand audio recordings, the App was shown to identify subjects infected with a 98.5% accuracy, including asymptomatic patients who are unmasked in 100% of cases.
