Researchers from MIT have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can be used to detect COVID-19 by listening to people’s coughs. “This noninvasive, free, real-time prescreening tool may prove to have a great potential to complement current efforts to contain the disease in low-infected areas, as well as to mitigate the impact in highly-infected areas, where unconscious asymptomatics may spread the virus,” say the researchers in the IEEE Open Journal of Engineering.
