An Israeli company can detect COVID-19 by analysing a person’s voice

Using the VocalisCheck mobile app, Israel has learnt how to diagnose the Coronavirus by listening to a patient’s voice with an accuracy rate of 81%.

The Israeli company Vocalis is offering an innovative solution for diagnosing COVID-19. Its advantage is that it detects the disease even in asymptomatic patients. The app’s artificial intelligence analyses many of the patient’s voice parameters, and based on these, it diagnoses the ailment.

The effectiveness of the programme does not depend on the language spoken by the patient. The latest research conducted by Vocalis in tandem with their Indian partners proved its effectiveness. The test involved 2 thousand people speaking four languages. In every case, the app detected the disease with an 81% accuracy. The USA,  Luxembourg and several other countries are already using the technology.
