Donate your Vocal Biomarkers to help detect COVID-19 

We will anonymize the data and just use it with the intention to conduct research and translate this work to patients. You can find all details clearly and understandably in our data protection declaration. If you have any questions, please contact our team.

If you are interested in participating in a longer clinical trial, you can indicate this in your data donation. Depending on your previous illnesses and symptoms, we then will invite you to join our clinical study. We have structured the trial as a 4 week longitudinal study and we estimated it will take roughly 15-20 minutes of your time contributing for the COVID-19 research from home with nothing more than your smartphone.

In order to find out whether AI-supported symptom-related early detection is promising, we plan to record approx. 500,000 audio samples from approx. 50,000 corona patients and correlate them to secured COVID-19 testing in a study from April to July 2020 using a self-test app based on smartphones. 

The study is conducted under scientific standards in cooperation with medical universities and research institutions* and can roughly be divided into three parts:

1) Labelling of a large number of vocal biomarkers from symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects via this website (non-clinical part),

2) Testing and analysis of the correlation of vocal biomarkers to classical diagnostic test procedures in the context of a retrospective review of the course of disease under clinical conditions (clinical part),

3) Conducting a registry study to examine in detail the results that vocal and digital biomarkers provided us with.

Should this be the case, commercially available smartphones would be able to predict probabilities for corona virus disease, to direct biomarker-based well-founded suspected cases to the best possible location and to better locate patients in the life cycle of the disease.
