The MIT research is over 2 years old now and wasn`t continued,despite the excellent results that was achieved, presumably because the results were for people that were Asymptomatic.
Work done at the Bond University by Prof Paul Glasziou showed that Asymptomatic people only make up 17% of the total Covid population so it became too hard for The MIT to continue their research for Symptomatic people without the signature algorithms of underlying Respiratory illnesses needed to seperate from covid.
Rap has these missing Signatures, and is the only company that has the ability to identify accurately Respiratory illnesses such as Phnumonia, Asthma, COPD,Upper and Lower Tract infections, etc
This has all been discussed previously, - and it should be noted that Rap is continuously updating its algorithms as more results are accumulated - When a person coughs not all the frequencies are audible to the human ear yet they still have a distinctive signature - the more results the more the algorithms can be refined. - this is why Rap will always be superior to any stephoscope
As more and more information is fed into the Rap data base the accuracy will only increase - this is how the algorithms become robust because they have so much history to fall back on.
Industry will be able to test peoples lungs instantly for dust disease - pnumoconiosis,- underground coal mining should be using it now as with all dust generating industries including excavation, all cutting and grinding,even farm harvesting.
Sport will be able to assess each persons fitness by how good their lungs are, and assess if they are coming down with an illness prior to showing symptoms - they have a tool to assess the fitness of their players.
Telehealth is growing and Rap is becoming a major player - who else can remotely detect accurately respiratory diseases
Perhaps its biggest asset is its ability to monitor respiratory disease and assess the progress of a persons recovery or the need for further treatment - it needs to be in ED`s in all hospitals as a reliable tool in identifying Chronic Respiratory illneses.
Rap will continuouly evolve as more and more results and information is fed into its data base - it has been known for a long time that cough sounds are an excellent indicator of respiratory diseases, - there has never been a means of capturing these sounds,instantly,accurately, with minimal cost, untill now.
As for Omicron it will have a distinctive frequency it is just a matter of making it Robust and this will only improve as the data base improves

iPhones have a great feature for different sound identification - like coughing- built into Phone ( found in Accessibility drop down menu).
I tried it a few times and it’s accuracy is probably around 70%. I did try with a few forced cough near to the phone and it instantly notifies the sound signature. But it’s just cough identification, not it’s underlying cause. This is where I feel ResApp could supplement it’s use case- instantly identify/ classify a cough while the phone is passively listening- This is the ( not so distant) future for consumers.
I have attached a link how to enable the cough sounds identification feature in iPhones. You don’t need an app.
