For this purpose, sound recordings of Covid-19-positive persons in clinical treatment are needed. The group led by Franz Pernkopf from the Institute of Signal Processing and Speech Communication now wants to further develop the system for screening Covid-19 patients. A few months ago, the work culminated in a prototype of a multi-channel recording device and the ongoing development of an associated computer-aided diagnostic system.
Using the example of the lung, a research team at Graz University of Technology has been intensively engaged in noise recording and the development of computer-aided analysis methods as a supplement to medical diagnosis. The occurrence of certain noises or changes in normal sounds can be an indication of illness. Our bodies constantly make sounds that (fortunately) are not always audible to the naked ear.
