Embodiment Construction

[0030] The following descriptions are examples of the present invention. Its purpose is to illustrate the general principles of the present invention and should not be regarded as a limitation of the present invention. The scope of the present invention should be defined by the scope of the patent application.

[0031] As mentioned in the prior art listed above, an individual's voice signal can be used to assist in the diagnosis of some diseases. In order to create a device for voice-assisted medical diagnosis, the basic concept of the present invention is to build a voice model. In one embodiment, a speech model includes some sound and / or speech characteristics, such as pitch, pitch, rhythm, articulation, volume, sound wave, articulation, interval, fluency, syllable, stress, vowel, consonant, etc. These sound and / or phonetic properties may be determined by linguistic parameters, such as phonology or / and phonetics. For example, the fluency of the speech signal can be determi...

Abstract

The invention discloses an apparatus and a method for voice assisted medical diagnosis. The apparatus includes a database, an input unit, a voice matching unit and a diagnosis unit. A voice model associated with an individual is stored in the database. The input unit receives a voice signal from the individual. The voice matching unit matches the voice signal with the voice model. The diagnosis unit diagnoses whether the individual suffers from one or a multiple of predetermined diseases according to a matching result from the voice matching unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for providing medical diagnosis, and in particular to devices and methods for providing voice-assisted medical diagnosis. Background technique [0002] At present, people mainly go to medical institutions to receive medical diagnosis and obtain health information. But for patients with chronic diseases, it is important to track their long-term health. Therefore, patients with chronic diseases must visit medical institutions regularly, which costs a lot of time and money. [0003] On the other hand, many medical diagnostic techniques utilize various signals such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram or brain waves to diagnose diseases. Nevertheless, individual voice signals can also be used to assist in the diagnosis of some diseases, especially chronic ones. For example, a decline in vocabulary ability may be an early warning sign of diseases such as dementia and Parkinson's disease. However, it m...
