Abstract

Artificial intelligence has been a revolutionary concept for the healthcare sector in recent years. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are subdomains of machine learning which is a vital tool for applications such as diagnostic and therapy suggestions. Pulmonary diseases significantly influence the overall well-being of numerous individuals worldwide, greatly hampering their ability to lead a healthy and balanced life. The present study uses an ensemble technique to detect Pulmonary Diseases. Here, lung sounds obtained by auscultation are transformed into spectrograms and classified using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) trained on various architectures. The proposed study shows an accuracy of 97.3%.
