Abstract: With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific community took prompt action to seek adequate solutions for the prevention and treatment of the disease. However, what seems less developed at present are methods for early diagnosis of the disease which would be useful especially when it is becoming more complicated towards interstitial pneumonia which is the main cause of ICU admissions and deaths. The aim of this work is to describe methods typically used for signal and image digital processing, especially artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which could allow a very early diagnosis of the onset of COVID-19 infection as well as many other respiratory and cardiac pathologies. For this purpose, at least for a first screening, the use of medium-capacity smartphones may also be sufficient, without the need to resort to expensive medical equipment and diagnostic tests that require long waiting times and are always onerous.
