Would you believe there is a Shazam for your cough?

There is an app planned for release late 2017 that could do this. Yes… it has been medically tested at reputable hospitals, with over 90% accuracy rates.

Could this be the next huge hit app like…Uber, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Airbnb?

In fact, over 700 million+ people are diagnosed with respiratory disease in the OECD countries alone. This doesn't include China.

Have you ever had a cough?

Well, next time you or your family gets a cough, you will want to get your germs into this app & diagnose your cough instantly.
Is your cough a simple cold, or could it be worse…. pneumonia, bronchitis, or asthma. Well Resapp is able to differentiate between these respiratory illnesses.

Have you ever wondered how Shazam can pick up the song name & artist in a noisy environment so fast?

Shazam uses sound signature analysis to compare sounds against their data base of songs. Its accurate, fast and helpful when you need to know the name of that song.

So….. you think this is a joke? And you want to know how it works?

Well…. Resapp Health (ResappHealth.com.au) a digital health solutions company has been studying cough sounds for over 6 years through an Australian University. Resapp have developed an app that enables you to cough into the microphone on your smartphone and a machine learning algorithm is used to diagnose your cough, just like Shazam “diagnoses” the song.

How can you get this app?

The app is going through FDA approval process prior to release. Once it has the stamp of approval from the FDA it could be classified as a medical device and then be downloaded and used by doctors.

Who owns Resapp?

It’s a publicly listed company on the Australian stock exchange.

Could the share price surge like Steem has?

Just like crypto currencies are becoming digital currencies… could Resapp be the digital stethoscope?

Just like the crypto currency explosion the medical technology world is also under going massive disruption and change is on the way !!

The potential for this app is endless,

  • How many people have a cough in the world?
  • What will the database be worth?
  • Could it be used by governments to monitor disease outbreak?
  • Could it be built into the backend of Artificial Intelligence assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa?
  • Is this the digital stethoscope?

It’s another potentially disruptive technology that looks fascinating. So, if you are interested, please let me know your comments on this.

Hey @green8 ! Natalie here! Great stuff. =) Following you!

Hey Natalie. Welcome to steemit 😀

Good article. There is alot of cool new diagnostic tech coming out, Ive seen one prototype that aimed to detect the nutritional info of fruits and vegetables by taking a photo of it. Shazam is crazy, I once whistled twinke twinkle little star into it to test it out and it picked it up.

How awesome that you could whistle Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and it picked it up. Have you tried "Sound Hound"? I once tried it and sang random sounds into it and it could pick up what the song was. The Shazam algorithm is fascinating, and it's so interesting to see what ResApp is doing.

Nah I havent tried that one Ill have to check it out. Yeah it's amazing technology. Speaking crazy sound synthisis have you came across this? wierdest synth (if you owuld call it that lol) ive cam across but gave me a laugh https://dood.al/pinktrombone/ just make sure anyone around you sees the sound is coming from the computer or they will think your nuts lol
