Mumbai: BMC to start AI-based voice tests to detect Covid-19

The BMC will next week onwards start using a voice sampling method to diagnose Covid-19 at one of its jumbo facilities.

“We will use an AI-based voice sampling application in a pilot project covering 1,000 patients, both suspected and confirmed, at our Nesco facility in Goregaon. We will compare the voice analysis findings with RT-PCR results. It is non-invasive and can deliver results quickly,” said additional municipal commissioner Suresh Kakani.
