Jakarta, NTTOnlinenow.com – Alodokter announced the launch of the latest breakthrough technology in its application. Just by detecting the sound of coughing, this application can diagnose 6 different lung conditions, including lung infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ARI, whooping cough, and bronchitis. The diagnostic accuracy rate ranges from 87-97%, which means it is as accurate as conventional examinations.

This diagnostic experience was developed in collaboration with ResApp, an Australian digital health diagnosis technology company. This technology was developed by matching the characteristics of the cough sound with a clinical diagnosis. The company has been accredited in Indonesia and Australia. Alodokter is the first telemedicine company in Asia to provide the general public with access to this latest technology.

“What makes this technology different is that you don't need any additional gadgets, just use the smartphone you have. You just have to cough near your smartphone, then in a few seconds, our doctor can immediately find out the diagnosis automatically from the system. This type of smartphone-based diagnostic technology is a new breakthrough for telemedicine because it does not require additional devices. With this technology, it is easier for doctors to diagnose more diseases and provide treatment more efficiently remotely, as well as help patients deal with health problems faster without leaving the house,” said Suci Arumsari, President Director of Alodokter.

This technology has also been certified by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and is accredited for use in Europe and Australia. This feature can be accessed in Indonesia only through the Alodokter application.
