Ask HN: What's Happening with MIT's Covid Cough Detection App?

2 pointsby danicgrossover 4 years ago
A few weeks ago there was much discussion about a model that had powerful accuracy at detecting both symptomatics and asymptomatics by forcing a cough. Does anyone know what the latest is? And if&#x2F;when it&#x27;ll be released? If they need help, etc?<p>Strikes me this is at least as important as a vaccine, assuming the numbers hold up with a balanced dataset.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ieeexplore.ieee.org&#x2F;document&#x2F;9208795&#x2F;authors

What happened to the people who yet again believed MITs PR lies?<p>Moved onto the next dopamine hit no doubt. With zero repercussions for MIT.<p>It&#x27;s good you are following it up. I recommend you put a reminder in the calendar to see in one years time how MIT behaved in a deadly pandemic.

I don&#x27;t see any future path for this project. It looks like it was just a researcher project that was published and got some press, not something that could actually be turned into a product.

How could that possibly be accurate?
