Systems and methods for authentication using sound-based vocalization analysis

Systems and methods use a processor to obtain a signal data signatures (SDS) of a forced cough vocalizations (FCV). The processor controls a display present an instruction to a user to produce an FCV. The processor controls a recording device to record audio during the FCV so as to receive an audio signal that captures the FCV. The processor pre-processes the audio signal and outputs FCV signal data representative of the FCV. The processor uses a cough signature model to ingest the FCV signal data and output an SDS representative of isolated FCV-related signal data. The processor validates one or more SDSs by classifying and testing the SDS against SDS criteria (baseline) that establish a minimum quality7 of the SDS. Based on the SDS failing to achieve the SDS criteria, the processor deletes the SDS and controls the display to present a new instruction to the user for a new FCV.
