Frequently Asked Questions

AudibleHealth AI is a clinical decision support software (CDSS) solution that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect intricate patterns in the sound of a person's cough. These patterns have been correlated with specific disease signatures. To use the solution, a person coughs into the application for approximately 15 seconds. When they click Submit, their cough sample is sent to our cloud environment in Microsoft Azure for processing. In 30 to 60 seconds, the result is available. The result shows the risk level that a cough sample is consistent with COVID-19, Tuberculosis, or Pneumonia.

It’s very easy! In some cases a physician or organization will send you a link on your mobile phone, either using SMS or WhatsApp. Once you receive the link, you click it, and the solution guides you through the short process of recording your cough, and submitting it for processing.

In other cases you can request a link yourself, by going to https://RespiratoryScreening.com. There you can purchase a test, and the application will guide you through the short process of recording your cough, and submitting it for processing.

In both cases, the application will ask you to cough for at least 15 seconds. When you are finished, you click the Submit button, and the system will return a result to your phone in approximately 60 seconds.

Ideally you should be in a relatively quiet environment, but it does not have to be completely silent. The solution is designed to work well in rooms with background noise and even speaking or music. You can use the solution indoors or outdoors. A few specific tips for the ideal cough submission:

• Be sure to avoid covering the microphone, normally at the bottom of your phone, with your thumb or finger.
• When you cough, hold the phone approximately arm’s length from your mouth. If it’s too close to your mouth there can be distortion.
• When you cough, give us a good strong cough from your lungs – not quiet cough in your throat.
• If possible, pause slightly between coughs. This will make it easier for our solution to take your cough recording and split the sound into individual coughs for processing.
• When you click the button to record, start coughing. When you’re done click the Submit button.
• If for some reason your cough could not be processed, you will get a message shortly after you submit your cough. The solution will ask you to cough again.
• We generally need about 10 coughs. If we are not able to collect 10 usable coughs, the solution will ask you to cough again.

Yes! The solution will give you a screen that says Success! This lets you know that your cough recording was successful and is being processed. Leave the solution alone, and about 60 seconds later your result will appear.

Yes! Both work just fine.

We recommend using no headphones, external microphones, or separate Bluetooth devices. Instead, cough directly into your phone to avoid interference or problems with microphone permissions.

Yes, you can submit your test from an unsecured network. However, we recommend always using a secured network to ensure the privacy of your personal information.

At present, the solution screens for COVID-19, Pneumonia, and active Tuberculosis.

If your result shows a risk for one or more illnesses, we recommend you speak with your doctor right away for next steps. Always heed the advice of your healthcare provider.
