Abstract

Management of respiratory conditions relies on timely diagnosis and institution of appropriate management. Computerized analysis and classification of breath sounds has a potential to enhance reliability and accuracy of diagnostic modality while making it suitable for remote monitoring, personalized uses, and self-management uses. In this paper, we describe and compare sound recognition models aimed at automatic diagnostic differentiation of healthy persons vs patients with COPD vs patients with pneumonia using deep learning approaches such as Multi-layer Perceptron Classifier (MLPClassifier) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).Clinical Relevance-Healthcare providers and researchers interested in the field of medical sound analysis, specifically automatic detection/classification of auscultation sound and early diagnosis of respiratory conditions may benefit from this paper.
