In this paper, we address the problem of computational auditory scene recognition and describe methods to classify scenes into predefined classes. By mean an environment using audio information only. The comprised tens everyday outside inside environments, such as streets, restaurants, offices, family homes, cars. Two completely different but almost equally effective classification systems were used: band-energy ratio features with 1-NN classifier Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients Gaussian...

Abstract Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are commonly encountered in the primary care setting, though accurate and timely diagnosis is problematic. Using technology like that employed speech recognition technology, we developed a smartphone-based algorithm for rapid AECOPD. The incorporates patient-reported features (age, fever, new cough), audio data from five coughs can be deployed by novice users. We compared accuracy to expert clinical assessment. In...

Background Rapid and accurate diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is problematic in acute care settings, particularly the presence infective comorbidities. Objective The aim this study was to develop a rapid smartphone-based algorithm for detection COPD or absence respiratory infection evaluate diagnostic accuracy on an independent validation set. Methods Participants aged 40 75 years with without symptoms who had no condition apart from COPD, bronchitis, emphysema were...

Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an essential consideration in patients presenting to primary care with respiratory symptoms; however, accurate diagnosis difficult when clinical and radiological examinations are not possible, such as during telehealth consultations. Aim To develop test a smartphone-based algorithm for diagnosing CAP without need examination or inputs. Design setting A prospective cohort study using data from participants aged >12 years acute symptoms...
