I'm no medic, and I was apprehensive about the follow up results, but it seems to me they have now cracked the ability to diagnose all the main respiratory diseases and even before they manifest their normal symptoms . Not sure how you get a child under 2 to cough on demand but clearly the latest results add significantly to the positive.
I am aware that its application in third world countries may be less effective because so many actually have TB which I understand has similar symptoms but cannot be diagnosed in this way. On the other hand if the algorithm detects everything else does this mean you diagnose TB by eliminating everything else ( unless they have multiple diseases)?
I'm sticking with my 10c immediate target. May see it today on this news. Then it's 20c IMO.

A child under 2 that has croup will be coughing several times every few minutes so I wouldnt imagine it would be terribly difficult in recording the cough....
When you need to cough I guess you cant stop it.....
