A round-up of how the Universities are using technology in their response to COVID-19
OPEN UNIVERSITY
OU researchers have received funding to research the role of wearable device technology and scientific and clinical expertise to create early biomarkers of coronavirus infection. The team has received £50,000 from Innovate UK to partner with MindSpire, an innovative start up focused on decoding and treating chronic stress.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new app which will be used to collect data to develop machine learning algorithms that could detect whether a person is suffering from COVID-19 – based on the sound of their voice, their breathing and coughing. The COVID-19 Sounds App is currently available as a web app for Chrome and Firefox browsers. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-app-collects-the-sounds-of-covid-19
CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY
Cranfield University is hosting a digital sprint where scientists from across the world will collaborate to develop digital environmental tools that can help track, understand and predict the effects of COVID-19 and help lead to a greener post-pandemic future. https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/press/news-2020/could-environmental-data-be-the-key-to-a-greater-understanding-of-covid19-and-its-effects
