MIT researchers developed an algorithm that has correctly identified asymptomatic people with COVID-19 by the sound of their forced coughs using their smartphone devices. The researchers have found that asymptomatic people may differ from healthy people in the way that they cough. These differences are not identifiable by the human ear, but the researchers have developed an AI that can detect this difference.

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.
