  • Experts at Carnegie Mellon University are developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based application that will analyze human voice to tell if the person has got the coronavirus is in their body or not.

Finding the cure of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has become the top priority of scientists and health researchers who are busy burning the midnight oil to get the breakthrough.

With experts trying to find and treat the coronavirus in easy and cheap ways, an exciting development has emerged in this regard.

According to the Daily Mail, experts at Carnegie Mellon University are developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based application that will analyze human voice to tell if the person has got the coronavirus is in their body or not.

Experts say that this artificial intelligence application will recognize human voices to see if it contains traces of coronavirus. “If it comes from a person who has some known respiratory condition, we then know what that condition sounds like. The system will use all that data as counterexamples, and for disambiguating COVID signatures from those of other confusing conditions,” said Benjamin Striner, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student who worked on the project.

The application called the COVID Voice Detector will analyze people's breathing patterns and other vital parameters of sound that vary in coronary patients.

The application is still in the development stage and has not yet been approved by the FDA or CDC. However, experts say they will apply for approval once the app is ready.
