NCT ID NCT07156994
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will use the Long COVID Companion app to collect voice recordings and health questionnaires from 300 adults with ongoing COVID-19 symptoms. Researchers hope to identify vocal biomarkers for common issues like fatigue, brain fog, and breathing problems. The goal is to enable remote monitoring of Long COVID through voice analysis alone.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple voice-based tool to remotely monitor Long COVID symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find reliable voice patterns, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
All adult people with suspected Long COVID can participate in this study. As the study is completely digital, there are no restriction in terms of living country. All the users of the Long COVID Companion app will be invited to participate in the study (by email or directly in the app). Recruitment will also be done by communications on social media, and by distributing study flyers in the waiting rooms of Long COVID consultations network. Participants to the PrediCOVID study who accepted to be recontacted will also be invited. Information regarding the study will also be disseminated to all people with Long COVID in the database of the Long COVID consultation network in Luxembourg.
