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.
