Devices that monitor wheeze, snoring, coughing or crackles remotely can allow for faster treatment. For children, these devices have the potential to catch lung diseases/conditions early on in life.

Researchers developed a novel device that detects abnormal breathing sounds to predict whether an ICU patient is likely to suffer from respiratory complications after removal from a mechanical ...

Listening to a patients' breathing is certainly a key part of diagnosing their respiratory problems. However, doctors' individual observer bias certainly comes into play, plus it can be difficult to ...

Automated respiratory sound analysis using neural networks has emerged as a transformative approach in the non‐invasive diagnosis of pulmonary disorders. By integrating digital stethoscopes with ...

NWO researcher Mireille Oud is working on a computer program to evaluate the respiratory sounds made by asthma patients. It would seem that a microphone just under the Adam’s apple may be sufficient ...

The National Institutes of Health’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has awarded a $1.2 million grant to develop a "smart pacifier." ...

A novel computer-assisted stethoscope offers clinicians real-time help in identifying respiratory sounds that can be difficult to classify on chest auscultation, according to a research letter ...
