Key Features and Innovation:

  • Utilization of digital stethoscopes for recording lung sounds.
  • Application of deep learning algorithms for diagnosing lung diseases.
  • Training a neural network with a vast collection of audio files for accurate diagnosis.

Potential Applications:

The technology can be used in healthcare settings for diagnosing pulmonary diseases, monitoring lung health, and improving patient care.

Problems Solved:

The system addresses the challenges of accurately diagnosing lung diseases based on respiratory sounds and provides a more efficient and reliable method for healthcare professionals.

Benefits:

  • Early detection of lung diseases.
  • Improved accuracy in diagnosis.
  • Enhanced patient care and treatment planning.

Commercial Applications:

The technology can be commercialized as a diagnostic tool for healthcare providers, medical facilities, and research institutions. It has the potential to revolutionize the field of pulmonary diagnostics.

Questions about Lung Disease Diagnostics:

1. How does the system differentiate between different lung diseases based on respiratory sounds? 2. What are the potential limitations of using digital stethoscopes for diagnosing lung ailments?


Original Abstract Submitted

a pulmonary lung disease diagnostics system uses digital stethoscopes to record sounds emitted from a patient's lungs including respiratory or breathing audio. digital audio files are leveraged to diagnose patients with a variety of lung ailments using deep learning algorithms and a network interface. a neural network is trained using a large collection of audio files to accurately diagnose patients with certain lung diseases. the neural network includes deep learning algorithms embedded into a minimum viable product (mvp) fullstack web application. the algorithms are used to affirm, contradict, or further investigate a patient's lung disease diagnosis.
