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...
This study presents an innovative approach to cuffless blood pressure prediction by integrating speech and demographic features. With a focus on non-invasive monitoring, especially in remote regions, our model harnesses speech signals and demographic...
BACKGROUND: Mobile devices for remote monitoring are inevitable tools to support treatment and patient care, especially in recurrent diseases such as major depressive disorder. The aim of this study was to learn if machine learning (ML) models based ...

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.
BACKGROUND: Computational approaches hold significant promise for enhancing diagnosis and therapy in child and adolescent clinical practice. Clinical procedures heavily depend n vocal exchanges and interpersonal dynamics conveyed through speech. Rese...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that can result in a progressive loss of speech due to bulbar dysfunction, which can have significant negative impact on the patient's mental well-being. Alternative Augmentative Comm...
