Did you know that the sound of someone’s voice can indicate early signs of disease? Bioacoustics is a fascinating field with research indicating recognition of heart disease, tuberculosis and more. Check out the links below for more.
The sounds our bodies make are filled with information about our health 🎧 That’s why researchers at Google have been exploring ways to use AI to extract health insights from bioacoustics. Health Acoustic Representations, or HeAR, is a bioacoustic foundation model designed to help researchers build models that listen to human sounds and flag early signs of disease. Swaasa® - By Salcit Technologies, an India-based respiratory healthcare company, is using HeAR to help with early detection of tuberculosis based on cough sounds. HeAR is now available externally to researchers to help accelerate development of custom bioacoustic models – learn more: https://goo.gle/4fPF6id
