    摘要: A method for medical diagnosis includes recording voice signals due to sounds spoken by a patient (22) and recording acoustic signals output, simultaneously with the voice signals, by an acoustic transducer (28) in contact with a thorax of the patient. A transfer function is computed between the recorded voice signals and the recorded acoustic signals or between the recorded acoustic signals and the recorded voice signals. The computed transfer function is evaluated in order to assess a medical condition of the patient.

    摘要: According to certain described aspects, multiple acoustic sensing elements are employed in a variety of beneficial ways to provide improved physiological monitoring, among other advantages. In various embodiments, sensing elements can be advantageously employed in a single sensor package, in multiple sensor packages, and at a variety of other strategic locations in the monitoring environment. According to other aspects, to compensate for skin elasticity and attachment variability, an acoustic sensor support is provided that includes one or more pressure equalization pathways. The pathways can provide an air-flow channel from the cavity defined by the sensing elements and frame to the ambient air pressure.

    摘要: An acoustic sensing apparatus (12) and method is for acoustically surveying the chest area of a subject, and in particular the rib cage. The apparatus includes an arrangement (16) of one or more sound sensors (18) and a controller (24), wherein the arrangement is configured to be placed on the chest of the subject in use, and to detect acoustic signals received from inside the chest. Based on the signal intensities picked up at a plurality of different locations across the chest, the different locations are each classified as being positioned either above a rib of the subject, or above an intercostal space of the subject. In a set of embodiments, the sound sensors are configured to sense sounds generated inside the body (e.g. heart and/or lung sounds, or vocal sounds). In a further set of embodiments, a sound generator may be provided for generating sound signals for transmission into the chest.

    摘要: A system for monitoring cleaning and sanitization efforts of care givers using stethoscopes including one or more sanitizing and cleaning stations capable of cleaning and sanitizing a head portion of a stethoscope presented thereto. The system includes an identification apparatus operably associated with each of a plurality of stethoscopes. The identification apparatus serves to identify a particular stethoscope and, thus, a particular care provider. An apparatus for detecting each time a particular stethoscope is presented to a sanitizing and cleaning station for effecting a cleaning and sanitization event forms part of the system. An analysis unit is operably connected to each identification apparatus and detecting apparatus and is configured for calculating the cleanliness and sanitization level of each stethoscope as a function of the number of cleaning and sanitization events detected by the detecting apparatus. A method for monitoring cleaning and sanitization efforts of care providers is also disclosed.

    摘要: A way of indicating a risk for coronary artery disease is disclosed. A first plurality of first sound recordings of heartbeats and second plurality of second sound recording of the ambient background are obtained. A filtering of each first sound recording is performed by using a simultaneously recorded second sound recording. The filtering of each first sound recording comprises involves a determining a diastolic period of the heartbeat of the first sound recording, and performing an adaptive filtering of the first sound recording based in the diastolic period of the first sound recording and the simultaneously recorded second sound recording. This is followed by a determining of an indication of the risk for coronary artery disease based on the filtered first sound recordings.
