ANALYSIS DEVICE: abstract simplified (18021430)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18021430 Titled 'ANALYSIS DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an analysis device that can detect abnormalities in lung sounds during auscultation. The device uses time-series acoustic signals to detect abnormalities in different positions of the lungs. It also takes into account the condition information of the patient to determine the severity of heart failure. Based on this determination, the device decides whether or not to output certain information to an external device. The output is then performed accordingly.

Original Abstract Submitted

An analysis device includes a detection unit that detects abnormality in lung sounds for each of auscultation positions on the basis of time-series acoustic signals including lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions; a determination unit that determines severity of heart failure of a patient on the basis of a detection result of abnormality in the lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions detected by the detection unit and condition information representing a condition of the patient; and an output unit that decides whether or not to output predetermined information to an external device on the basis of a result of determination by the determination unit, and performs output corresponding to a result of decision.
