Over the years, lung auscultation has been used as an effective clinical tool to monitor the
state of the respiratory system. Lung auscultation provides valuable information regarding …

In this paper, we present an approach for multi-channel lung sound classification, exploiting
spectral, temporal and spatial information. In particular, we propose a frame-wise …

Lung sounds acquired by stethoscopes are extensively used in diagnosing and
differentiating respiratory diseases. Although an extensive know-how has been built to …

Pulmonary crackles are used as indicators for the diagnosis of different pulmonary disorders
in auscultation. Crackles are very common adventitious transient sounds. From the …

We present a flexible acoustic sensor that has been designed to detect wheezing (a
common symptom of asthma) while attached to the chest of a human. We adopted a parallel …

Goal: The aim of this study is to find a useful methodology to classify multiple distinct
pulmonary conditions including the healthy condition and various pathological types, using …

The aim of this study is the classification of wheeze and non-wheeze epochs within
respiratory sound signals acquired from patients with asthma and COPD. Since a wheeze …

The systems of e-health are powerful tools in medical domain. The main advantage of those
systems is reducing the requirement of hospital care and the number of mortalities. Modern …

Background Standard thoracic auscultation suffers from limitations, and no systematic
analysis of breath sounds in asthmatic horses exists. Objectives First, characterize breath …
