Context: Recently, an Israeli team led by a high ranking research and development (R&D) defence official, arrived in India under ‘Operation Breathing Space’.

Detail

  • It is a multi-pronged mission which aims to work with Indian authorities on the coronavirus (COVID-19) response.

  • In the audio test, a patient’s voice would be recorded and evaluated through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
  • The breath test would involve making the patient blow into a tube, which would be analysed through specialised “high-frequency” methodology.
