AUDIO BIOMARKER FOR VIRTUAL LUNG FUNCTION ASSESSMENT AND AUSCULTATION

A mobile device application prompts and conducts audio and/or video tests using a microphone on a smartphone, tablet or laptop in order to record and analyze a patient's speech, cough, breathing and other sounds in order to diagnose the patient with Covid 19, another ailment, or as having normal ranges not indicative of disease. The mobile device's tests and protocols use program instructions, AI processing and other automated tools to facilitate the speed and reliability of the testing.

MOTOR VEHICLE WITH COGNITIVE RESPONSE TEST SYSTEM FOR PREEMPTIVELY DETECTING POTENTIAL DRIVER IMPAIRMENT

A test system for detecting impairment aboard a motor vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and sensors in communication therewith. The sensors are positioned within a vehicle interior, and include at least a touch screen and a microphone, and possibly an eye-tracking camera. In response to receiving a start request indicative of a requested start event of the motor vehicle, the ECU executes instructions to initiate a cognitive response test via the sensors. The ECU determines a test score of a driver during the test while the motor vehicle remains off, compares the test score to baseline scores to determine a passing or failing test result, and executes a control action aboard the motor vehicle in response to the passing or failing test result. The ECU may disable or immobilize the motor vehicle in response to the failing test result.
