RESPIRATORY ANALYSIS DETECTION OF VARIOUS LUNG INFECTIONS USING COUGH SIGNAL

Abstract

Large number of people die every year of Pulmonary chronic lung diseases irrespective of their age. Lung sound analysis has been a key diagnostic aid to accurately detect Pulmonary Diseases. Earlier, manual detection was used which was not a dependable method to detect lung diseases due to various reasons like low audibility and difference in perceptions of different physicians for different sounds. Modern computerized analysis yield results with much higher accuracy and thus a better treatment can be given to patients suffering from various kinds of lung diseases. These disorders include Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema, Tuberculosis and Pneumonia. Some of the symptoms are wheezing, shortness of breath, rhonchi and chronic cough. In this project we are using respiratory audio dataset to predict various diseases such as Asthma, Pneumonia, Bronchiectasis and many more. To implement this project we have taken disease diagnosis dataset and respiratory audio dataset and then extract features from all audio dataset and then trained a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm model. After training model we can upload any new test data to predict disease from it.
