Overview of study design: COVID-19 detection and progression were assessed from audio data. Voice, cough, and breathing sound recordings were collected from each participant over a period, together with self-reported COVID-19 test results. During model development, audio recordings were chunked into segments consisting of 5 samples covering a few days and processed using sequential modeling techniques (GRUs) for COVID-19 monitoring. Two subtasks were evaluated: (1) COVID-19 detection (positive vs negative) and (2) disease progression monitoring. GRU: gated recurrent unit.
