Speech Title: Respiratory parameter estimation using pharyngeal phonetics and machine learning: Breaking free from spirometry Abstract: Traditional spirometry, while essential for diagnosing respiratory diseases, is constrained by its invasiveness and dependence on patient exertion, rendering it unsuitable for many high-risk individuals. This work presents a paradigm-shifting alternative: a non-contact lung function assessment that leverages pharyngeal phonetics and machine learning. By analyzing respiratory acoustics without forceful exhalation, our method eliminates key risks and discomforts. It unlocks new possibilities for telemedicine and decentralized monitoring, allows for high-frequency testing, and employs advanced analytics to detect incipient lung impairment. Ultimately, this technology promises to democratize respiratory care by offering a safer, more scalable, and readily deployable solution through standard consumer devices. |
