The figure rose to 100 percent among people who had been confirmed to have the virus but reported having no symptoms, researchers said. "We think this shows that the way you produce sound, changes when you have Covid, even if you're asymptomatic," co-author Brian Subirana, a research scientist at the college's Auto-ID Laboratory, told MIT News.
The team is working on developing an app and once completed, will try to seek FDA approval to make it available to the public. "The effective implementation of this group diagnostic tool could diminish the spread of the pandemic if everyone uses it before going to a classroom, a factory, or a restaurant," Subirana told the outlet.
