Leveraging digital stethoscope technology for automated respiratory disease classification and biometric analysis.
Sammendrag
This study introduces a novel approach to diagnosing respiratory diseases using digital stethoscopes. By analyzing biosignals from acoustic data, machine learning models are trained to classify various respiratory health conditions. The method utilizes Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and spectral analysis techniques to isolate clinically relevant biosignals embedded within the acoustic data. The approach focuses on cardiovascular and respiratory patterns within the acoustic data, achieving high accuracy in both binary and multi-class classification tasks. Additionally, regression models are introduced to estimate age, body mass index (BMI), and sex based solely on acoustic data. This research highlights the potential of intelligent digital stethoscopes in enhancing diagnostic capabilities in healthcare.
