This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341672 titled 'METHOD FOR EVALUATING POSSIBILITY OF DYSPHAGIA BY ANALYZING ACOUSTIC SIGNALS, AND SERVER AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM PERFORMING SAME
The abstract describes an audio analysis method for determining the possibility of dysphagia by analyzing cough signals.
- Obtaining audio signals
- Sorting out a cough signal from the audio signals
- Identifying the presence and intensity of an explosive phase in the cough signal
- Determining the possibility of dysphagia based on the presence and intensity of the explosive phase in the cough signal
Potential Applications: - Medical diagnostics for dysphagia - Monitoring and assessing swallowing difficulties in patients
Problems Solved: - Early detection of dysphagia - Non-invasive method for assessing swallowing difficulties
Benefits: - Improved patient care and treatment outcomes - Early intervention for dysphagia management
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Audio Analysis Method for Dysphagia Detection" This technology can be used in medical facilities, hospitals, and clinics for diagnosing and monitoring dysphagia in patients, potentially leading to the development of specialized medical devices or software.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this audio analysis method compare to traditional methods of diagnosing dysphagia? 2. What are the potential limitations of using audio signals for dysphagia detection?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in dysphagia detection methods and technologies to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an audio analysis method for determining the possibility of dysphagia may be provided, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining audio signals; sorting out a cough signal from among the audio signals; identifying the presence and/or intensity of an explosive phase in the cough signal; and determining that there is a possibility of dysphagia if there is no explosive phase in the cough signal or if the intensity of the explosive phase is weak even if there is an explosive phase.
