Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a device, system and method for detecting and monitoring abnormalities in soft tissue based on acoustic signals transmitted through the soft tissue. the device includes a pressure sensor configured to sense pressure applied to a location of soft tissue by the device; and an acoustic generator configured to generate and emit an acoustic signal comprising a range of frequency components into the location of soft tissue when the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor exceeds a threshold pressure, an acoustic sensor configured to detect an acoustic signal produced from the interaction of the emitted acoustic signal with the soft tissue and to convert the detected signal to an audio data signal; and a transceiver configured to transmit the audio data signal to an external computing device. the system comprises the device and the external computing device. the external computing device is configured to receive the audio data signal from the device; and determine, using a machine learning model trained on a sample dataset of labelled audio data signals, a classification for the received audio data signal based on its frequency content indicating whether or not the respective location of soft tissue exhibits an abnormality.
