WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It seems like a visit to the doctor’s office, but this high-tech checkup doesn’t involve a medical professional, but, rather, an app.“It is a completely objective measure,” said David Liu, CEO of Sonde Health.The company is the developer of an app called “Sonde One.” It’s designed to screen employees at home for potential respiratory ailments – like COVID-19 – in part, through the sound of their voice.“Speaking is one of the most complex physical things that a person can do,” Liu said. “Many parts of the body have to come together including your brain, your lips, your mouth, your lungs, your heart.”That is where the app comes in.After answering a few symptom-related questions, it prompts a person to say “ahhh,” for a set amount of time. The app then either clears the person to go into the office or notifies them and their employer that something may be amiss.“It's a biomarker, like any other, that the body produces,” Liu said. “There's data and signal in your voice that can be read and understood.”The voice analysis technology has been used before in helping screen people for depression and several studies done in the U.S., Australia and Germany show it may have merit.However, the app can’t specifically detect the coronavirus. It can pick-up if someone might have a cold, the flu or even asthma. Still, some companies are signing on.“There's a group of managers who are testing this you know on a on a daily basis right now, just so that we can learn the ins and outs of it,” said Ed McNamara, who is with the New Jersey-based software company SHI.SHI has 5,000 employees, all of whom used to go into the office. COVID-19 put a stop to that because, like millions of others, employees at SHI are working from home.“Our culture, as a company, is one that is really based on us being together and collaborating in person,” McNamara said.The company hopes that might change some time in the fall and that the app could be part of their strategy to come back.“It's one compliment of all of the other activities that we're undertaking, just to make sure that when we do come back to the office, it's in the safest possible way,” McNamara said.It is a safety that could hinge on the sound of your voice. 2245

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that the U.S. hopes to gain access soon to a former Marine who was arrested in Russia on espionage charges and that "if the detention is not appropriate we will demand his immediate return."Paul Whelan, who is head of global security for a Michigan-based auto parts supplier, was arrested on Friday. In announcing the arrest three days later, the Russian Federal Security Service said he was caught "during an espionage operation," but it gave no details.Whelan, 48, was in Moscow to attend a wedding when he suddenly disappeared, his brother David Whelan said Tuesday.Pompeo, speaking in Brazil, said the U.S. is "hopeful within the next hours we'll get consular access to see him and get a chance to learn more."The U.S. has "made clear to the Russians our expectation that we will learn more about the charges and come to understand what it is he's been accused of and if the detention is not appropriate we will demand his immediate return," Pompeo said.Whelan's family said in a statement David Whelan posted on Twitter, "We are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being. His innocence is undoubted and we trust that his rights will be respected."The Russian spying charges carry a prison sentence of up to 20 years.David Whelan said in an interview that his brother had been to Russia several times previously, so when a fellow former Marine was planning a wedding in Moscow with a Russian woman he was asked to go along to help out.The morning of his arrest, he had taken a group of wedding guests on a tour of the Kremlin museums. The last time anyone heard from him was at about 5 p.m. and then he failed to show up that evening for the wedding, his brother said."It was extraordinarily out of character," he said.The family feared he had been mugged or was in a car accident, David Whelan said, and it was when searching the internet on Monday that he learned of the arrest."I was looking for any stories about dead Americans in Moscow, so in a way it was better than finding out that he had died," he said.The State Department said Monday it had received formal notification from the Russian Foreign Ministry of the arrest and was pushing for consular access. David Whelan said the family was told by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow they have not been able to speak to Paul Whelan.David Whelan said he has no idea why his brother was targeted by the Russian security services. Paul Whelan had traveled to Russia in the past for work and to visit friends he had met on social networks, his brother said."I don't think there's any chance that he's a spy," David Whelan told CNN on Wednesday.Paul Whelan did multiple tours in Iraq with the Marine Corps, his brother said. He now lives in Novi, Michigan, and is director of global security for BorgWarner, where he has worked since early 2017."He is responsible for overseeing security at our facilities in Auburn Hills, Michigan and at other company locations around the world," company spokeswoman Kathy Graham said in a statement.She said BorgWarner does not have any facilities in Russia.Paul Whelan previously worked for Kelly Services, which does maintain offices in Russia, his brother said.The arrest comes as U.S.-Russian ties are severely strained, in part over Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.A Russian gun rights activist, Maria Butina, is in U.S. custody after admitting she acted as a secret agent for the Kremlin in trying to infiltrate conservative U.S. political groups as Donald Trump was seeking the presidency. She pleaded guilty in December to a conspiracy charge as part of a deal with federal prosecutors.Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the case is fabricated and that Butina entered the guilty plea because of the threat of a long prison sentence.___Tom Krisher in Detroit contributed to this report. 3893

Watch out, Amazon and Walmart. Kroger is making a big move in the online grocery fight.America's largest grocery chain launched "Kroger Ship," a direct home delivery service, in four cities on Wednesday: Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, and Nashville. It will expand to new markets in the coming months.Kroger already offers delivery from 1,200 of its stores through third-parties like Instacart and curbside pickup at 1,250. Both are valuable tools to help Kroger offer current and potential customers convenience and keep pace with rivals.Related: Kroger's online sales up 66%. Amazon and Walmart have a real competitorBut Ship new will give the company a new weapon as more shoppers order groceries online and legacy brick-and-mortar retailers Walmart and Target build up their digital capabilities to compete with Amazon. Amazon's Whole Foods acquisition last year blurred the lines between online and offline food retail."Kroger has now returned the favor," said Bill Bishop, the co-founder of grocery retail consulting firm Brick Meets Click."This move expands Kroger's online market potential since it gives Kroger a way to serve customers who don't have convenient access to their stores," he added.Kroger's delivery website went live on Wednesday, and shoppers can pick from more than 50,000 grocery, household, beauty, and pet food choices.The company is focusing on its private label collection with Ship by offering more than 4,500 of its own brands.These sales are valuable for Kroger since they come with higher profit margins, helping offset expensive online shipping costs. For example, Kroger is offering Bromley's for Men, a new shave line the company introduced last week.Kroger is offering free shipping on purchases above , but orders below will come with a .99 delivery fee. During the launch phase, the company is offering shoppers free shipping and 15% off their orders using a promo code.Ship also features an order-and-save subscription, which Kroger believes can help convince customers to make repeat purchases.Online purchases will be fulfilled directly from Kroger's two current fulfillment centers and a third one opening in the fall. The company is working with FedEx and the Postal Service to ship orders, which can be delivered as soon as the next day. 2299

WASHINGTON (AP) — Their hopes fading for Senate control, Democrats had a disappointing election night as Republicans swatted down an onslaught of challengers and fought to retain their majority.Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper defeated incumbent Sen. Cory Gardner, while ex-college football coach Tommy Tuberville won back Alabama’s Senate seat for the GOP, defeating Sen. Doug Jones.Later in the evening, Mark Kelly, a NASA astronaut, and husband to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords defeated Sen. Martha McSally.Republicans also held their own in high-profile races in South Carolina, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, and Montana, narrowing the political map.Respectively, Sen. Lindsey Graham won against Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, Sen. John Cornyn defeated Mary Hegar, Roger Marshall won against Barbara Bollier, Sen. Joni Ernst defeated Theresa Greenfield, and Sen. Steve Daines beat Gov. Steve Bullock.It was a jarring outcome for Democrats who had devised an expanded political map, eager to provide a backstop against President Donald Trump and his party’s grip on the Senate.The races attracted an unprecedented outpouring of small-dollar donations from Americans apparently voting with their pocketbooks to propel long-shot campaigns.Democrats did retain their Senate seats in Oregon, New Mexico, Minnesota, Illinois, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Virginia.Both parties saw paths to victory, but options are becoming more limited.As of about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, there were still some Senate races to be called. Races in these states still hadn’t been called by The Associated Press: Michigan, Maine, North Carolina, Alaska, and Georgia.The outcomes might not be known until the days to come.And in Georgia's special election, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock have advanced to a Jan. 5 runoff for Loeffler’s Senate seat. They’re the top two finishers in a crowded field that also included Republican Rep. Doug Collins. But no candidate was able to get the 50% threshold needed in order to win outright.Loeffler, a wealthy businesswoman, was appointed last year to replace retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson. Warnock is pastor of the Atlanta church where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached. He’s trying to become Georgia’s first Black U.S. senator.The voters’ choices will force a rethinking of Democratic Party strategy, messaging, and approach from the Trump era. 2444
