The mobile application will be able to detect tumors in the foreseeable future by the sound of the phone owner’s voice. Scientists are working on an artificial intelligence system capable of detecting the smallest changes in the voice apparatus.
American and British researchers are creating a mobile application that can diagnose various chronic health problems just by the sound of a person’s voice. To do this, an artificial intelligence system is being built that analyzes the smallest vibrations in speech and breathing, with the help of which it is possible to make an assumption about some kind of well-being disorders. At the moment, the authors of this project are collecting voice samples from different people, both healthy and sick.
It is well known that victims of certain ailments like stroke or Parkinson’s disease have speech disorders, and in patients with pulmonary disorders, changes in breathing can be detected. But there was hope that this computer program would detect a much larger number of ailments, including even depression and cancer.
A team of experts based on a large collection of human voices will divide this diagnosis into 5 areas: neurological disorders, voice disorders, mood disorders, respiratory disorders and pediatric disorders like autism or delayed speech development. It is expected that this program will be able to come up for direct testing next year.
