PHYSICAL CONDITION DETERMINATION DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
The occurrence of a sudden change in physical condition is detected. In a physical condition determination device 100, a heart rate-relate index calculation unit 110 specifies an appearance time of a sign of a sudden change in heart rate, from a time-series waveform of an index corresponding to a variation in the heart rate (heart rate-related index) and a blood pressure-related index calculation unit 120 specifies an appearance time of a sign of a sudden change in blood pressure, from a time-series waveform of an index corresponding to a variation in the blood pressure (blood pressure-related index). A physical condition sudden change determination unit 130 determines that a sudden change in physical condition (physical condition sudden change) has occurred in a case where these appearance times are both within a predetermined time. This enables the determination in which the sudden change in the heart rate and the sudden change in the blood pressure are taken into consideration, to enable the detection of the physical condition sudden change.
Acoustic sensor and ventilation monitoring system
A method of monitoring respiration with an acoustic measurement device, the acoustic measurement device having a sound transducer, the sound transducer configured to measure sound associated with airflow through a mammalian trachea, the method includes correlating the measured sound into a measurement of tidal volume and generating at least one from the group consisting of an alert and an alarm if the measured tidal volume falls outside of a predetermined range.

SCREENING OF INDIVIDUALS FOR A RESPIRATORY DISEASE USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
An artificial intelligence-based system and method for scalable screening of individuals for respiratory infection, such as COVID-19. The system is trained to distinguish distinct latent features of cough sounds produced by a COVID-19 infected person from cough sounds produced by patients suffering from any other respiratory infection or involuntary cough sounds produced by a healthy person. Cough sound samples from individuals can be remotely collected and evaluated by the system for likelihood of the COVID-19 infection. Additionally, images of affected body parts, biomarkers, metadata, and other respiratory sound samples can also be used for screening.
