Noninvasive Simultaneous Diagnosis of Multiple Upper Respiratory Tract Diseases using Speech Signal Parameters

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A diagnostic decision-making algorithm utilizing speech signal parameters was developed for the diagnosis of combinations of upper respiratory tract diseases such as nasal septum deviation, polypous sinusitis, rhinitis, and tonsillitis. Errors consisting of missing the correct diagnosis (type 1 errors) in the diagnosis of patients with combinations of two diseases, stratified by sex and age, ranged from 7.8% to 17%, while incorrect diagnoses (type 2 errors) occurred in 14.5-21.5% of cases.
