This is a confirmatory study that seeks to examine whether respiratory-responsive vocal biomarkers have potential to respond to COVID-19 infection status and respiratory symptom severity. Patients with suspected COVID-19 and healthy controls will submit daily voice samples and symptom inventories on their personal smartphone devices for 14 days.
This is an observational study examining the potential to use voice analysis to aid in the identification of COVID-19 and as an aid to monitoring of respiratory symptoms of COVID-19. Patients with suspected COVID-19 and healthy controls will be enrolled and use their own smartphone device to provide daily voice samples and symptom inventories. This study seeks to confirm and extend findings from preliminary data from patients with asthma, COPD and cough that has indicated the potential of respiratory responsive vocal biomarkers (RRVB) to respond to respiratory diagnoses and symptom severity. The same RRVB will be examined to confirm whether this potential generalizes to respiratory symptoms associated with COVID-19
