Are you interested in meeting the venture whose technology could screen the whole nation for coronavirus in a single day - using only your cough patterns?

Emil Fristed is an Oxford-trained computational neuroscientist. He’s a recognised social entrepreneur, including a Leading for Impact Fellow with the Skoll Centre in Oxford, and selected as one of 100 global biotech Leaders of Tomorrow. He is the CEO & Co-founder of Novoic, a digital biotechnology company based in London.

 What Noivoic does: assess brain and respiratory health from the way you speak. The research team uses recent breakthroughs in deep audio and natural language processing, to accelerate decades of academic research in audio processing, linguistics, and neurological diseases. 

The outcome: Identifying fine patterns in voice recordings that are associated with a multitude of neurological conditions and respiratory illnesses. We work to democratise health assessment, by making it as easy as having a conversation.

 Seeing the global crisis and our internal expertise – Novoic decided to do what they could to help. That’s why Novoic launched the Donate Your Cough campaign. With this we hope to help the academic research community and give every pair of lungs a voice. If you're interested to volunteer, join the Slack volunteer community here.

What Novoic needs more of is large quantities of cough recordings to train and validate our AI algorithms.

What Novoic needs more of is your help and coughs!
