These researchers have been working on cough detection research since 2011. This is their moment.
To better track COVID recovery, or even diagnose COVID, researchers are looking to places you might not expect. For instance, Matt Whitehill, a computer scientist at the University of Washington, is soliciting volunteers to record themselves coughing. People sick with COVID-19 experience a variety of symptoms—or sometimes, none at all—but a dry cough is among the most common symptoms, so the prevalence of that cough “can be used as a proxy for their overall health,” says Whitehill.
This ability to differentiate between different people’s coughs comes into play if you’re tracking patients in real world environments. Say you have multiple sick people recovering in the same household, or the same area of the hospital. A cough detection algorithm may be able to identifycough and count the number of times you’re coughing in an hour or a day, which might be able to tell your doctors how well you’re recovering.
