Cough-scrutinizing AI shows major promise as an early warning system for COVID-19

AI models have been built to detect conditions like pneumonia, asthma and even neuromuscular diseases, all of which alter how a person coughs in different ways. Before the pandemic, researcher Brian Subirana had shown that coughs may even help predict Alzheimer's — mirroring results from IBM research published just a week ago. More recently, Subirana thought if the AI was capable of telling so much from so little, perhaps COVID-19 might be something it could suss out as well.
