SYSTEM FOR DETECTING DISEASE OF THE INTERNAL ORGANS FROM VOICE, WAVEFORM AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES

Abstract

Audio analysis is combined with physiological data to provide indications of the health of bodily organs and systems.

Claims

1. A diagnostic method comprising: capturing input data including an audio sample and at least one other input indicative of a physiological parameter or waveform, calculating, from said audio sample and said at least one other input, results indicative of a disorder or malfunction of at least one organ or body system, and displaying results of said calculating on a screen.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said parameters measured at locations of the body including at least one of the wrist, finger, neck, face, groin, ankle, torso left side, and torso right side.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said parameters are measured by devices selected from the group consisting of attached sensors, wireless sensors, microphones and cameras.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of adjusting capacities for picking up signals at least 1-60 seconds time frame and the focused area within ideal proximity with adjusting visual cues.

5. The method in claim 1, wherein said body system is selected from the group consisting of: (a) cardiovascular system/circulation system (b) digestive/excretory system (c) skeletal system (d) muscular system (e) respiratory system (f) nervous system (g) endocrine system (h) reproductive system (I) renal/urinary system (j) immune system (k) lymphatic system and (l) integumentary/exocrine system.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one organ is selected from the group consisting of lung, large intestine, heart, small intestine, spleen, stomach, liver, gall bladder, kidney and urinary bladder.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said captured data is stored for future use.

8. The method of claim 1, where the condition of said at least one organ is continuously monitored for the purpose of stabilizing vital signs and warning of possible failure.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one said other input is pulse data.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one said other input is oximeter data.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein said oximeter data is obtained by processing a video recording of the wrist.

12. A diagnostic system comprising a microphone for obtaining a sample of a subject's voice, at least one other sensor for obtaining input data representative of a physical parameter or waveform of the body, a processor for calculating, from said voice sample and said at input data, results indicative of a disorder or malfunction of at least one organ or body system, and a screen for displaying said results.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein said sensors are placed on the body at locations including the wrist, finger, neck, face, groin, ankle, torso left side, torso right side.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein said at least one other sensor is selected from the group consisting of attached sensors, wireless sensors, microphones and cameras.

15. The system of claim 12, further comprising means for storing at least one of said voice sample, said input data and said calculated results.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the data process according to the present invention.

[0019] FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a process according to one embodiment of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Beside the user's heart rate and pulse, blood oxygen level is vital to one's health. This level can be measured with an oximeter, as described in many prior patents.

[0021] The condition of the main internal organs can be determined with this invention, by analyzing captured data of the user's voice parameters and/or waveforms together with physiological changes. At any time, abnormalities or malfunctions of one or more internal organs may affect the user's overall health; such abnormalities or malfunctions may show in the voice, waveform, and/or in changed physiological parameters.

[0022] An EKG provides a waveform that is unique to the heart. Similarly, other internal organs give out unique waveforms.

[0023] By comparing normal parameters to one and/or more waveforms from the internal organs, one can determine the systemic disharmonies of the overall health. For example, the digestive system includes the spleen, stomach, liver, gall bladder, etc.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, a body scan is activated by a smart app, which activates noninvasive wireless sensors and contact sensors which are attached to the body. Voice activation starts the scan, and a sample of the voice is retained for analysis.

[0025] The results captured by the sensor, and the voice sample, are then compared by a computed algorithm with prior or reference data, and the actual differences are displayed.

[0026] After the detection of the possible conditions of the internal organs, preventive measures in terms of description, recommended physical activities, nutrition and lifestyle awareness are presented.

[0027] Connection and contact information of local healthcare professionals are provided as options, as well as local vendors for health products.

[0028] Optionally, captured and calculated data may be retained to improve overall accuracy.

[0029] The user may opt in to create a person health profile on the inventor's virtual storage server for open collaboration to learn from and share with a community of peers and care professionals.

[0030] Inasmuch as the invention is subject to variations and modifications, it is intended that the foregoing shall be interpreted as merely illustrative of the invention defined by the following claims.
