ABSTRACT
The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020 by the World Health Organization, has caused over 6 million victims worldwide. Because of the rapid spread of the virus, with the aim to perform screening we exploit deep learning model to quickly diagnose altered respiratory conditions. In this paper, we propose a method to recognize and classify cough audio files into three classes to distinguish patients with COVID-19 disease, symptomatic ones and healthy subjects, with the use of a convolutional neural network (CNN). Cough audios were recorded by using a smartphone and its built-in microphone. From cough recordings, we generate spectrogram images and we obtain an accuracy equal to 0.82 with a deep learning network developed by authors. Our method also provides heatmaps, which show the relevant input areas used by the model for the final forecast, and this aspect ensures the explainability of the method. © 2022 IEEE.
