COVID-19 cough classification using machine learning and global smartphone recordings.

Computers in biology and medicine
We present a machine learning based COVID-19 cough classifier which can discriminate COVID-19 positive coughs from both COVID-19 negative and healthy coughs recorded on a smartphone. This type of screening is non-contact, easy to apply, and can reduc...

ConceptWAS: A high-throughput method for early identification of COVID-19 presenting symptoms and characteristics from clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Identifying symptoms and characteristics highly specific to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would improve the clinical and public health response to this pandemic challenge. Here, we describe a high-throughput approach - Concept-Wide A...

Identification of Risk Factors and Symptoms of COVID-19: Analysis of Biomedical Literature and Social Media Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: In December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak started in China and rapidly spread around the world. Lack of a vaccine or optimized intervention raised the importance of characterizing risk factors and symptoms for the early identification and s...

Understanding the importance of key risk factors in predicting chronic bronchitic symptoms using a machine learning approach.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Chronic respiratory symptoms involving bronchitis, cough and phlegm in children are underappreciated but pose a significant public health burden. Efforts for prevention and management could be supported by an understanding of the relative...

A Machine Hearing System for Robust Cough Detection Based on a High-Level Representation of Band-Specific Audio Features.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
UNLABELLED: Cough is a protective reflex conveying information on the state of the respiratory system. Cough assessment has been limited so far to subjective measurement tools or uncomfortable (i.e., non-wearable) cough monitors. This limits the pote...

Chronic obstructive lung disease "expert system": validation of a predictive tool for assisting diagnosis.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were development and validation of an expert system (ES) aimed at supporting the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD).

Novel computer algorithm for cough monitoring based on octonions.

Respiratory physiology & neurobiology
The objective assessment of cough frequency is essential for evaluation of cough and antitussive therapies. Nonetheless, available algorithms for automatic detection of cough sound have limited sensitivity and the analysis of cough sound often requir...

Efficient k-NN Implementation for Real-Time Detection of Cough Events in Smartphones.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The potential  of telemedicine in respiratory health care has not been completely unveiled in part due to the inexistence of reliable objective measurements of symptoms such as cough. Currently available cough detectors are uncomfortable and expensiv...
