Phone Diagnosis illness From the Cough
In the near future, your smartphone can be a diagnose tool respiratory disease. Way, you only have to cough on the surface of the phone. Furthermore, the phone will diagnose disease within a few seconds.
This became possible because of software developed by the U.S. and Australian scientists from STAR Analytical Services. They hope that this software makes it easy to diagnose the patient’s respiratory illness with cough only in the phone.
Of cough issued, the phone can diagnose whether they have the flue, cough, pneumonia or other respiratory diseases. Disease-detection software can also alert type suffered cough, whether it’s a dry cough or cough with phlegm.
Furthermore, the phone will provide the appropriate information data as given doctors the cause of cough. The doctors and nurses are generally able to distinguish the difference coughing through his voice. This software can do the same thing and inform if they are facing a serious illness.
“Why do we diagnose the disease from coughing? It’s because coughing is a common symptom experienced by the disease each patient,” said Suzanne Smith from STAR Analytical Services, as quoted from the Telegraph, Tuesday (november/10/2009).
Embedded software on this phone will compare the cough of patients with recording of data types are kept coughing. This data store a variety of cough sound marker of respiratory disease of all ages and gender, weight and height, and the variables determining the diagnosis of other diseases.
Currently, the STAR team has a data type of cough recordings obtained from hundreds of patients. However, estimates STAR team, they need at least 1000 data types of cough before realizing that software.
