Many pundits say that the key to neutralizing the COVID-19 virus is testing, lots of testing. That’s easier said than done, unless you believe what the technology experts at SensiML are saying.

They claim that with enough data in hand, they can tell you whether you have the infection simply by coughing into a microphone. And the test should produce results that are about 90% accurate. Wow! To be clear, this does not meet the requirements of a clinical tool, but it’s a fantastic start.

When I heard about this, I knew I had to hear more, so I dialed up SensiML’s CEO, Chris Rogers, who explained exactly how it works in our Special Edition of the Embedded Executive podcasts.
