Multiple sensor acoustic respiratory monitor

A method for multiple sensor based acoustic respiratory monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving acoustic measurement data derived from one or more breathing sounds as captured by a sensor array comprising a plurality of acoustic sensor elements;
• generating a plurality of logical channels based on the acoustic measurement data;
• detecting an adventitious feature in the one or more breathing sounds using the plurality of logical channels;
• and causing a display of a user interface comprising an indication of an abnormal respiratory sound in response to detecting the adventitious feature.

An acoustic respiratory monitoring system, the system comprising:

• a sensor array apparatus comprising a sensor array that includes a plurality of acoustic sensor elements;
• one or more processors coupled to a memory, the one or more processors to perform acoustic data processing operations comprising:
• processing a plurality of logical channels that carry acoustic measurement data derived from one or more breathing sounds as captured by the plurality of acoustic sensor elements, wherein each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels carries a stream of acoustic measurement data corresponding to an acoustic sensor element of the plurality of acoustic sensor elements;
• detecting an adventitious feature in the one or more breathing sounds using the stream of acoustic measurement data from one or more logical channels of the plurality of logical channels;
• and causing a human machine interface to display an indication of an abnormal respiratory sound in response to detecting the adventitious feature.
