Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a highly prevalent respiratory disease affecting popular short-faced dog breeds such as Pugs and French bulldogs. BOAS causes significant morbidity, leading to poor exercise tolerance, sleep disord...
Wheezing is a critical indicator of various respiratory conditions, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current diagnosis relies on subjective lung auscultation by physicians. Enabling this capability via a low-profile,...
Respiratory diseases represent a significant global burden, necessitating efficient diagnostic methods for timely intervention. Digital biomarkers based on audio, acoustics, and sound from the upper and lower respiratory system, as well as the voice,...
Machine learning enabled auscultating diagnosis can provide promising solutions especially for prescreening purposes. The bottleneck for its potential success is that high-quality datasets for training are still scarce. An open auscultation dataset t...
Characterization of lung sounds (LS) is indispensable for diagnosing respiratory pathology. Although conventional neural networks (NNs) have been widely employed for the automatic diagnosis of lung sounds, deep neural networks can potentially be more...

The epidemic diseases such as COVID-19 are rapidly spreading all around the world. The diagnosis of epidemic at initial stage is of high importance to provide medical care to and recovery of infected people as well as protecting the uninfected popula...
BACKGROUND: The interpretation of lung sounds plays a crucial role in the appropriate diagnosis and management of pediatric asthma. Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to this task has the potential to better standardize assessment and may even imp...

This paper presents a supervised contrastive learning (SCL) framework for respiratory sound classification and the hardware implementation of learned ResNet on field programmable gate array (FPGA) for real-time monitoring. At the algorithmic level, m...
This short review illustrates, using two recent studies, the potential and challenges of using machine learning methods to identify phenotypes of wheezing and asthma from childhood onwards.
