Under a pilot project to develop a voice app to detect COVID-19, the BMC managed to send 1,500 voice samples from the COVID centre at NESCO Goregaon to Israel. Another 500 voice samples will be sent to create an algorithm for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The process is expected to be completed within two months.
Diagnosing patients through their sound waves is being done in several countries, including Israel. The civic body is trying to do it with the help of an Israeli firm.
