[ExI] AI Can Diagnose COVID-19 Through Cellphone-Recorded Coughs – Even if You Don’t Have Symptoms!

[William Flynn Wallace]

 a trained ear can detect things that even good Fourier transform software
can miss.  I hope it is true, and if so, I predict that some humans can
figure out how to do it too.

*Maybe true but not if the differences are in the high frequencies, over
10000 Herz.  Most Americans have their hearing destroyed in those
frequencies before they are 20.  One study showed non-urban AFricans of age
70 and older had better hearing than American teens.   bill w*
