" Conclusions: AI techniques can produce a free, non-invasive, real-time, any-time, instantly distributable, large-scale COVID-19 asymptomatic screening tool to augment current approaches in containing the spread of COVID-19."
Think you're asymptomatic? Cough into a phone, and this AI can listen to your voice to detect if you have Covid-19.
Scientists hope to turn the app into an FDA-approved prescreening tool.

Many of my Black friends and I have gotten messages from white colleagues asking about our well being and how they can help. Rather than burden us with your guilt, invite us to co-author papers and grants with you. Invite us to be on the symposium or be the guest speaker.
