We propose a novel model of active surveillance for COVID-19 through artificial intelligence. Both past and recent events of viral disease outbreaks have shown us that we do not have effective methods to screen the whole population, and efforts are failing to stop the pandemics. Moreover, at this stage, social distancing and home quarantine are only measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection. The purpose of our project is to introduce a robust method of using speechrecognition techniques through a mobile application in analyzing cough sounds of suspected people who previously were healthy, suffering from a respiratory ailment, and actively monitor the progress of their symptoms in real-time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
