Development of a digital health solution based on vocal biomarkers to remotely monitor frequent symptoms in real-life in people with Covid-19 or Long Covid.

Symptoms such as fatigue and loss of taste and smell are frequent in people with Covid-19 and can persist several months after the infection. which can severely impact the patient’s quality of life and disease management. Monitoring these symptoms can be facilitated thanks to artificial intelligence (AI)-based vocal biomarkers allowing real-life remote tracking using digital technologies.
The objectives of this project are 1) to validate existing vocal biomarkers candidate of fatigue and loss of taste and smell, 2) to identify new vocal biomarkers for other frequent Covid-19 related symptoms 3) to elaborate the specifications of a digital telemonitoring solution embarking vocal biomarkers with end-users.
This research project will contribute to an enhanced monitoring of key symptoms in real life and thus an improved quality of life for these patients throughout an easy-to-use, non-invasive digital health solution. It will also contribute to the digitization of the healthcare environment and clinical research while opening a way to precision health strategies and improved telemedicine solutions.
