A voice reception device includes a casing and at least two voice reception units. The casing includes a peripheral side wall, a bottom wall, a containing space formed in an inside of the peripheral side wall and the bottom wall, and a first opening end located at an end of the containing space. The voice reception units are disposed in the containing space. Each of the voice reception units includes a main body, a diaphragm, and a voice guiding channel. The main body has a chamber, and an end of the chamber has a second opening end. The diaphragm is connected to the second opening end of the main body. The voice guiding channel includes an importing end acoustically connected to the chamber and an exporting end opposite to the importing end and acoustically connected to a microphone.

An acoustic sensor is configured to provide accurate and robust measurement of bodily sounds under a variety of conditions, such as in noisy environments or in situations in which stress, strain, or movement may be imparted onto a sensor with respect to a patient. Embodiments of the sensor provide a conformable electrical shielding, as well as improved acoustic and mechanical coupling between the sensor and the measurement site.

A method for continuous acoustic signature recognition and classification includes a step of obtaining an audio input signal from a resonant microphone array positioned proximate to a target, the audio input signal having a plurality of channels. The target produces characterizing audio signals depending on a state or condition of the target. A plurality of features is extracted from the audio input signal with a signal processor. The plurality of features is classified to determine the state of the target. An acoustic monitoring system implementing the method is also provided.
