A smartphone app to detect Covid-19 from peoples voices is under work: How it works

A smartphone app can accurately detect Covid-19 infection in people's voices with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers revealed on Monday. The team claimed that the app is more accurate than several antigen tests and is cheap, quick and easy to use, which means it can be used in low-income countries where PCR tests are expensive and/or difficult to distribute. "The promising results suggest that simple voice recordings and fine-tuned AI algorithms can potentially achieve high precision in determining which patients have Covid-19 infection," said Wafaa Aljbawi, a researcher at the Institute of Data Science, Maastricht University, The Netherlands. "Moreover, they enable remote, virtual testing and have a turnaround time of less than a minute. They could be used, for example, at the entry points for large gatherings, enabling rapid screening of the population," she said at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Covid-19 infection usually affects the upper respiratory track and vocal cords, leading to changes in a person's voice. Aljbawi and her supervisors decided to investigate if it was possible to use AI to analyse voices in order to detect Covid-19. They used data from the University of Cambridge's crowd-sourcing Covid-19 Sounds App that contains 893 audio samples from 4,352 healthy and unhealthy participants, 308 of whom had tested positive for Covid-19. The researchers used a voice analysis technique called Mel-spectrogram analysis, which identifies different voice features such as loudness, power and variation over time. "In order to distinguish the voice of Covid-19 patients from those who did not have the disease, we built different artificial intelligence models and evaluated which one worked best at classifying the Covid-19 cases," Aljbawi added. They found that one model called Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) out-performed the other models. LSTM is based on neural networks, which mimic the way the human brain operates and recognises the underlying relationships in data. Its overall accuracy was 89 per cent, its ability to correctly detect positive cases was 89 per cent, and its ability to correctly identify negative cases was 83 per cent. "These results show a significant improvement in the accuracy of diagnosing Covid-19 compared to state-of-the-art tests such as the lateral flow test," said Aljbawi. The researchers say that their results need to be validated with large numbers.

Apple AirPods Pro Gen 2 is expected to launch at the Far Out event on September 7: Heres what you need to know

Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is set to showcase the second generation of its AirPods Pro this week that will offer several upgrades, including the next generation H1 processor. The company, that will unveil the latest iPhones and other devices at its event on September 7, will update a model that first went on sale in October 2019, reports Apple tracker Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. "I reported last year that new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I'm told that Wednesday will be their big unveiling," he was quoted as saying in his newsletter. The AirPods Pro 2 may also come with Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) or Bluetooth 5.2 support. The AirPods Pro 2 may also support in-ear wing tip design, along with a charging case that emits a sound when searching for it with Apple's Find My app. The second-generation Apple AirPods Pro are not likely to include any fitness tracking features and won't arrive with temperature or heart rate detection this year. According to reports, the upcoming version of Apple device is likely to focus more on enhancing audio experience. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that AirPods Pro 2 will be manufactured in Vietnam. Kuo predicted that the AirPods Pro 2 charging case will still feature a Lightning port for charging, dashing hopes for a switchover to USB-C this year.

Motorola India has been teasing the next “Motorola Edge coming soon” through a #FindYourEdge campaign on Twitter. And through these posts, the brand has been dropping hints about the upcoming phone’s features. Now even though it is yet to reveal the naming of the upcoming Edge series, we believe the flagship phone of the lot could be called Edge 30 Ultra because of some leaks so far including the recent promo video dump by Evan Blass. 

Here’s everything else we know about this so-called Edge 30 Ultra:

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra appears to have a triple camera setup arranged in a pyramid layout on the back. This is shown to include the highest resolution 200MP sensor as the primary one. It is expected to be a Samsung ISOCELL HP1 sensor. 

The video also tells us the Edge 30 Ultra has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, Dolby Atmos support, a USB-C port, 7-minute charging speed, pOLED display with 1 billion colors, and a central punch-hole cutout on the front.

Since it looks a lot like Motorola X30 Pro launched in China and if it borrows the same specs and features, then, you could also get a 125W charging support and 4610 mAh battery, a 6.7-inch 144Hz FHD+ panel, a 50MP ultrawide snapper, a 20MP telephoto shooter on the back, 60MP camera on the front, and an in-screen fingerprint reader.
