METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING A DISEASE, PREFERABLY A RESPIRATORY DISEASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262388 titled 'METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING A DISEASE, PREFERABLY A RESPIRATORY DISEASE
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes technologies and techniques for detecting a disease within a motor vehicle by analyzing the audio signal of a driver over time. A characteristic temporal sequence of the audio signal is selected for a time-resolved analysis, comparing it with a reference signal to identify differences and generate a diagnosis based on a time-resolved frequency analysis.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Recording and analyzing the audio signal of a driver in a motor vehicle.
- Selecting a characteristic temporal sequence for time-resolved analysis.
- Comparing the audio signal with a reference signal to detect differences.
- Generating a diagnosis based on the comparison using time-resolved frequency analysis.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be used in vehicles to monitor the health of drivers in real-time, potentially detecting diseases or health issues early on. It could also be applied in medical settings for remote patient monitoring.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the challenge of detecting diseases or health issues in drivers while they are on the road, providing a proactive approach to healthcare within the automotive environment.
- Benefits:**
- Early detection of diseases or health issues.
- Real-time monitoring of driver health.
- Improved safety on the road by identifying potential health concerns.
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: "In-Vehicle Health Monitoring System" This technology could be commercialized by automotive companies to offer advanced safety features in vehicles, as well as by healthcare providers for remote patient monitoring services.
- Prior Art:**
Readers interested in prior art related to this technology could explore research on audio signal analysis for health monitoring, as well as studies on in-vehicle health monitoring systems.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Researchers are continually exploring new methods and technologies for health monitoring within vehicles, including advancements in audio signal analysis and real-time disease detection.
- Questions about In-Vehicle Health Monitoring:**
1. How does this technology ensure the privacy and security of the driver's health data? 2. What are the potential regulatory challenges for implementing in-vehicle health monitoring systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
technologies and techniques for detecting a disease for use within a motor vehicle. an audio signal of a driver is recorded over time, and a characteristic temporal sequence of the audio signal is selected in order to perform a time-resolved analysis of the audio signal. the audio signal is processed within the selected characteristic temporal sequence with a comparison signal in order to determine differences between the audio signal and the comparison signal. a diagnosis is generated based on the comparison between the audio signal and the comparison signal, the comparison between the audio signal and the comparison signal being performed via a time-resolved frequency analysis.
