Ann: Positive Results from Australian Adult Clinical Study, page-311

I visited my GP today (the one who bought the shares) and he rightly opined that generally doctors like him, >40yo will be distrustful of new 'gimmicks' like this. The 30-35yo more tech savvy doctors would happily embrace this tech. Nontheless he sees strong takeup of the product when continued good publicity like the BMC Peer Revied Study are absorbed by GP's so they understand what a great gift to them the algo's are.

I'm not sure if much has been made of the difference between viral and bacterial pnemonia within our studies. I'll have to go back and check. My GP thinks that it would be easy for the algos to differentiate between the two as viral has a tighter cough and bacterial has a looser and more productive cough.

This got me thinking.... as an additional tool for someone with a clear cough ailment, why couldn't a patient (if asked by the telehealth doctor) put the phone microphone to the bare chest and breathe heavily? We all know what a rattley chest sounds like, lots of gurgling and distinctive sounds eminating from a chest full of mucus buildup. These sounds would also be distinctive, and would potentially help diagnose some types of respiratory ailments. The sounds should have a lot in common with the coughs which the current algorithms diagnose.
