This app detects tuberculosis by listening to the sound of your cough

<p dir="ltr">The IIM Calcutta alumni had teamed up with some like-minded people and have built a screening mobile app- TimBre which diagnoses tuberculosis in a patient by recording the sound of his or her cough. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to make the cough interpretation. It is an easy, non-invasive, affordable and easily accessible procedure for TB diagnosis. TimBre is currently deployed as a pilot project in a few chest hospitals in Hyderabad.&nbsp;</p>
