BACKGROUND: Pediatric respiratory diseases, including asthma and pneumonia, are major causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Auscultation of lung sounds is a key diagnostic tool but is prone to subjective variability. The integration of artif...
Sleep apnea diagnosis relies on polysomnography (PSG), which is resource-intensive and requires manual analysis to differentiate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from central sleep apnea (CSA). Existing portable devices, while valuable in detecting slee...
Physicians evaluate a patient's respiratory health during a physical examination by visual assessment of the work of breathing (WoB) to determine respiratory stability, and by detecting abnormal lung sounds via lung auscultation using a stethoscope t...
Chronic respiratory diseases affect people worldwide, but conventional diagnostic methods may not be accessible in remote locations far from population centers. Sounds from the human respiratory system have displayed potential in autonomously detecti...

BACKGROUND: AI-aided home stethoscopes offer the opportunity of continuous remote monitoring of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, reducing the need for clinic visits.
Auscultation is a method that involves listening to sounds from the patient's body, mainly using a stethoscope, to diagnose diseases. The stethoscope allows for non-invasive, real-time diagnosis, and it is ideal for diagnosing respiratory diseases an...

Semi-supervised learning effectively mitigates the lack of labeled data by introducing extensive unlabeled data. Despite achieving success in respiratory sound classification, in practice, it usually takes years to acquire a sufficiently sizeable unl...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used in most medical disciplines, including paediatric pneumology. This review describes current developments in AI-supported technologies and discusses their potential for the diagnosis and treatment of ...
