The Covid Detection Foundation (dba Virufy)

Organization Description

Virufy is a nonprofit research organization developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to screen for COVID-19 from cough patterns, rapidly and at no cost through use of a smartphone. We are fortunate in the United States to have access to COVID testing, but many countries don't. Our mission/ purpose is to offer free COVID testing globally to the public through our app. Virufy is a California nonprofit corporation recognized by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Health & Safety

We require that a volunteer/ intern provides proof of their identity from a Government Issued Identification and to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Volunteers and interns will have access to technology and information that we expect to be kept confidential and not shared with others outside of our organization.

Hours of operation 

We are a remote company based out of Los Altos, California (near Silicon Valley). We have global volunteers working remotely in many different time zones, so there is no set schedule and no normal hours of operation. Someone is always working remotely 24/7 from around the world. Volunteers and interns make their own schedules and discuss with their team leads what days and times they will be available to work to accommodate their academic class schedules and/or other life obligations such as work, family, etc.
