12 results about "Respiratory sounds" patented technology

Respiratory sounds refer to the specific sounds generated by the movement of air through the respiratory system. These may be easily audible or identified through auscultation of the respiratory system through the lung fields with a stethoscope as well as from the spectral chacteristics of lung sounds. These include normal breath sounds and adventitious or "added" sounds such as crackles, wheezes, pleural friction rubs, stertor, and stridor.

An artificial intelligence-based system and method for scalable screening of individuals for respiratory infection, such as COVID-19. The system is trained to distinguish distinct latent features of cough sounds produced by a COVID-19 infected person from cough sounds produced by patients suffering from any other respiratory infection or involuntary cough sounds produced by a healthy person. Cough sound samples from individuals can be remotely collected and evaluated by the system for likelihood of the COVID-19 infection. Additionally, images of affected body parts, biomarkers, metadata, and other respiratory sound samples can also be used for screening.

A Controllable Generative Enhancement Method and System for Breath Sound Categories Based on Discrete Tokens and Transformers

This invention provides a controllable generative enhancement method for respiratory sound categories based on discrete tokens and Transformer, belonging to the interdisciplinary field of medical signal processing and artificial intelligence. The method employs a two-stage framework: In the first stage, a conditional vector quantization autoencoder is trained, injecting pathological category labels during encoding and introducing multi-scale category prototypes based on statistical analysis of similar samples during decoding and reconstruction, thereby constructing a discrete latent space with explicit semantic structure. In the second stage, an autoregressive Transformer model is trained to learn the category conditional distribution of token sequences within this space. In the enhancement stage, for the target minority categories, the Transformer generates new token sequences, which are then fused with the corresponding category's multi-scale prototypes and broadcast decoded to reconstruct high-fidelity, pathologically semantically consistent synthetic respiratory sound samples. Finally, the synthetic samples are added to the training set to balance the data distribution, effectively improving the downstream respiratory sound classification model, especially its performance and overall robustness in identifying a minority of abnormal categories.

This application relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a method and system for managing exercise fatigue. The method synchronously collects heart rate, electromyography, movement, and respiratory sound signals using a multimodal wearable device, extracts characteristic parameters from each signal, performs feature fusion using a weighted average method, predicts fatigue risk types using a time series model, and outputs personalized recovery suggestions accordingly. This application overcomes the shortcomings of traditional single-parameter monitoring methods—poor specificity and inability to comprehensively reflect the user's physical condition—through the synchronous acquisition and fusion analysis of multimodal physiological signals, achieving accurate assessment of complex physiological states. It can predictively assess fatigue status, solving the problems of lag and strong subjectivity in existing subjective assessment methods. Through targeted recovery suggestions, it achieves proactive and targeted physiological regulation intervention, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring precise load management, such as cardiopulmonary rehabilitation for the elderly.
