Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly around the globe and caused widescale physical, mental, and economic damage. A key component for countries to effectively navigate this pandemic is the ability to screen for COVID-19 disease and triage individuals en masse rapidly and effectively. This ability to rapidly screen for COVID-19 is beginning to emerge with widespread testing capacity, however cost and access is a major rate limiting factor – particularly for developing world countries – and ultimately these tests can’t predict disease severity. 

The technology currently exists to effectively screen for diseases such as pneumonia, asthma, and COPD using a combination of unique sound patterns contained within cough sounds and subject reported symptoms, and thus we believe the same machine learning technology can offer similar efficacy for COVID-19. If so, this screening tool would provide a rapid, safe, and low-cost mechanism to identify COVID-19 positive individuals.

This study therefore seeks to gather cough sound samples from eligible study participants and using rt-PCR and rt-qPCR as our reference standards, analyze their cough sound recordings along with subject reported symptoms to explore four hypotheses:

  1. There is a unique sound pattern observable in the cough sounds of COVID-19 positive individuals that is distinguishable from COVID-19 negative individuals and cough sounds of COVID-19 positive individuals change in a predictable manner over time

  2. An artificial intelligence algorithm with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity can be developed to indicate the presence of COVID-19 using cough sounds alone, or a combination of cough sounds and subject reported symptoms

  3. An algorithm with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity can be developed to triage COVID-19 positive individuals based on their likely need for medical treatment using longitudinal cough sounds alone, or a combination of longitudinal cough sounds and subject reported symptoms

  4. An algorithm with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity can be developed to predict the COVID-19 rt-qPCR Cycle Threshold value for COVID-19 positive individuals
