Description of Service

FLOOIE is a mobile application that uses your device's microphone to detect coughs and sneezes in your proximity. The App estimates the distance of detected sounds from your device and provides notifications to help you assess potential exposure risks and take appropriate health precautions.

Important Limitations:

FLOOIE detects only coughs and sneezes; it does not detect or record any other sounds
The App is a tool for awareness and is not a medical device
Detection and distance estimation are approximations and may not be 100% accurate
FLOOIE does not diagnose illnesses or provide medical advice

Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
FLOOIE does not detect specific diseases or pathogens
The App cannot determine whether a cough or sneeze is associated with any particular illness
Distance estimations are approximate and should not be considered precise measurements

No Warranty of Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that:

All coughs and sneezes will be detected (false negatives may occur)
