Empowering Dementia Diagnosis: A Machine Learning-Driven Automated System

Abstract: Dementia, a neurodegenerative disease, significantly impairs cognitive abilities and is often not diagnosed until the later stages of disease progression. This delayed diagnosis results in missed early intervention, support opportunities and difficulty implementing appropriate care strategies. To address this problem, researchers have proposed automated diagnostic systems that utilize machine learning methods using electronic health […]

The DiaVoc project: Diagnosing vocal characteristics to track patients’ health

This project centers on the diagnosis and monitoring of health conditions that impact patients’ vocal characteristics, including Neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) (signifying cognitive decline), pulmonary disorder (COPD), and heart failure conditions (HF). By utilizing longitudinal voice recordings paired with medical data, we aim to create mathematical vocal characteristics, distance metrics, and machine learning methodologies that are […]
