🤖 AI to Detect COVID-19

AI Makes Swift COVID-19 Diagnosis Possible with Ultrasound Imaging

AI Detects COVID-19: Researchers have developed an AI tool that can detect COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images with high accuracy. This AI tool identifies features known as B-lines, which indicate lung inflammation. By combining computer-generated images with real patient ultrasounds, the AI can quickly diagnose COVID-19.

Research Development: The project began at the start of the pandemic to help clinicians in overwhelmed emergency rooms. Facing a lack of patient data, scientists created software that can learn from both real and simulated data. This approach allowed the AI to accurately identify COVID-19 features in lung ultrasound scans.

Future Applications: This AI tool holds promise for creating wearable devices to monitor illnesses at home, including congestive heart failure. It could also enable quick, accurate point-of-care diagnoses in emergency settings. Beyond COVID-19, the technology has the potential to monitor various pulmonary diseases, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

AI-Powered Headphones Tune Into Individual Voices Amid Noise

Imagine if your headphones could magically drown out the chatter around you and zero in on just one person's voice. That's exactly what researchers at the University of Washington have been cooking up. They've developed these AI headphones that can pick out a single speaker's voice in a cacophony of noise.

The headphones are loaded with microphones that capture the target speaker's voice, which then gets sent to a tiny computer system. The AI software behind the scenes learns how the speaker talks, locks onto their voice, and feeds it directly into your ear. And guess what? As the person keeps talking, the system gets even better at isolating their voice.

The coolest part? This isn't some pie-in-the-sky concept. The researchers used off-the-shelf gear, like a Sony WH-1000XM4 headset and an Orange Pi. They've even shared the code on GitHub for DIY enthusiasts to play around with. So, if you're a tech tinkerer, you can build your own version. Plus, AI hardware is getting so cheap that adding this tech to headphones won't break the bank.

Imagine a future where you can finally hear your friend at a party without shouting, "What?!" twenty times.
