Assessing the Clinical and Functional Status of COPD Patients Using Speech Analysis During and After Exacerbation.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Jan 20, 2025
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.

Computing nasalance with MFCCs and Convolutional Neural Networks.

PloS one Dec 31, 2024
Nasalance is a valuable clinical biomarker for hypernasality. It is computed as the ratio of acoustic energy emitted through the nose to the total energy emitted through the mouth and nose (eNasalance). A new approach is proposed to compute nasalance...

The voice of depression: speech features as biomarkers for major depressive disorder.

BMC psychiatry Nov 12, 2024
BACKGROUND: Psychiatry faces a challenge due to the lack of objective biomarkers, as current assessments are based on subjective evaluations. Automated speech analysis shows promise in detecting symptom severity in depressed patients. This project ai...

Consistency of the Signature of Phonotraumatic Vocal Hyperfunction Across Different Ambulatory Voice Measures.

Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR Jun 11, 2024
PURPOSE: Although different factors and voice measures have been associated with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH), it is unclear what percentage of individuals with PVH exhibit such differences during their daily lives. This study used a mach...

Use of a humanoid robot for auditory psychophysical testing.

PloS one Dec 13, 2023
Tasks in psychophysical tests can at times be repetitive and cause individuals to lose engagement during the test. To facilitate engagement, we propose the use of a humanoid NAO robot, named Sam, as an alternative interface for conducting psychophysi...

Deep-Learning-Based Representation of Vocal Fold Dynamics in Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia during Connected Speech in High-Speed Videoendoscopy.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation Sep 23, 2022
OBJECTIVE: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD) is a neurogenic dystonia, which causes spasms of the laryngeal muscles. This disorder mainly affects production of connected speech. To understand how AdSD affects vocal fold (VF) movements and hence, th...
