Virufy is a Silicon Valley-born nonprofit, founded at the height of COVID-19 pandemic, to advance medical research and improve public health outcomes through the development and application of artificial intelligence algorithms. We are working on building a low-cost cough analyzing app for respiratory disease detection as well as a disease surveillance system using principles of epidemiology to detect and track new emerging pathogens. Dedicated to promoting global health equity for respiratory disease detection and management, Virufy is supported by top professionals from industry and academia from the US and around the world. Our mission is to be able to bring this smart AI technology to all parts of the world, especially the underserved and vulnerable populations.
