Vocal Feature Analysis Algorithm for COVID-19 Detection

October 28, 2020 updated by: Soniphi LLC

Testing of Soniphi Vocal Feature Analysis Algorithm for COVID-19

This is an observational, prospective, non-randomized, non-significant risk study collecting voice recordings from subjects who are being tested for COVID-19 by laboratory analysis of specimens obtained by nasal or naso-pharyngeal (NP) swab. Patients record their voices through an app on their mobile phone. Patients and health care providers will be blinded to the swab test results during Phase 2 of the study.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this observational study is to determine if the Vocal Feature Analysis (VFA) Algorithm developed by Soniphi can screen for the COVID-19 condition from voice recordings. Patients eligible for the study are those being tested for COVID-19 based on molecular diagnostic testing of specimens obtained by nasal or nasopharyngeal swab.

No clinical decisions will be based on the recordings. The results of the algorithm analysis will not be made available to the subjects or their healthcare providers during or after the study.
