Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprises: (A) receiving first acoustic data representing a first cough train of a first human subject, wherein the first cough train comprises at least one first cough of the first human subject; (B) identifying at least one first value of at one first acoustic property of the first acoustic data; and (C) determining, based on the at least one first value of the at least one first acoustic property, whether the first acoustic data indicates that the first human subject has a severe respiratory illness.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- (A) receiving first acoustic data representing a first cough train of a first human subject, wherein the first cough train comprises at least one first cough of the first human subject;
- (B) identifying at least one first value of at one first acoustic property of the first acoustic data;
- (C) determining, based on the at least one first value of the at least one first acoustic property, whether the first acoustic data indicates that the first human subject has a severe respiratory illness.
The method of claim A, wherein the first cough train comprises a plurality of coughs of the first human subject.
A computer-readable medium tangibly storing computer program instructions which are adapted to be executed by a computer processor to perform a method comprising:
- (A) receiving first acoustic data representing a first cough train of a first human subject, wherein the first cough train comprises at least one first cough of the first human subject;
- (B) identifying at least one first value of at one first acoustic property of the first acoustic data;
- (C) determining, based on the at least one first value of the at least one first acoustic property, whether the first acoustic data indicates that the first human subject has a severe respiratory illness.
A method comprising:
- (A) receiving first acoustic data representing a first cough train of a first human subject, wherein the first cough train comprises at least one first cough of the first human subject;
- (B) identifying at least one first value of at least one first acoustic property of the first acoustic data;
- and
- (C) determining, based on the at least one first value of the at least one first acoustic property, whether the first acoustic data indicates that the first human subject has an abnormal pulmonary system.
The method of claim B, wherein the first cough train comprises a plurality of coughs of the first human subject.
A computer-readable medium tangibly storing computer program instructions which are adapted to be executed by a computer processor to perform a method comprising:
- (A) receiving first acoustic data representing a first cough train of a first human subject, wherein the first cough train comprises at least one first cough of the first human subject;
- (B) identifying at least one first value of at least one first acoustic property of the first acoustic data;
- and
- (C) determining, based on the at least one first value of the at least one first acoustic property, whether the first acoustic data indicates that the first human subject has an abnormal pulmonary system.
A method comprising:
- (A) requesting that a human subject cough;
- (B) using a microphone to receive live acoustic data representing a cough train of the human subject, wherein the cough train comprises at least one cough of the human subject;
- and
- (C) analyzing the live acoustic data to determine whether the cough train indicates that the human subject has a severe respiratory illness.
