The Ministry of Health wants to build an online AI tool that can detect COVID-19 based on the sound of your cough. Here's how you can help them out.

The end goal is to develop an online-based COVID-19 screening tool. Essentially, it seems that by recording a large enough sample of coughing and breathing sounds from Malaysians who are healthy, are down with COVID-19 and have recovered from COVID-19, they can work to identify if there are any differences when coughing and breathing. They can then use the results to develop a tool that can automatically detect if your cough and breathing sounds more like a COVID-19 patient or not.

‘, is being conducted by the DHRI, the ICR, the Ministry of Health and the Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak. They’re hoping for at least 2,400 participants for each type of disease so it’ll be great if you can help out by taking part in this study. There won’t be any monetary reward, but at least you can take pride in helping out researchers working towards a solution., where you’ll be greeted with a login screen.

Once that’s done as well, you will be given a quick brief on how to set up your device prior to recording your cough and breathing. You’ll need a quiet room and a mask on hand as well as they want to record your cough and breathing with and without a mask on. Also, you will need to allow the website to have microphone access so that it can record audio; you can revoke microphone access once you’re done if you’re paranoid of course.
