Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify signs of hypertension in audio recordings, sharing their findings in IEEE Access.[1]
The group used a proprietary mobile app developed by Klick Labs, a research and development division of Canada-based Klick Health. Nearly 250 patients recorded their voices into the app up to six times per day for two weeks. The machine learning-powered app was trained to evaluate voices for hundreds of biomarkers, including many that can’t even be detected by the human ear.
Overall, when working to identify patients with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 135 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 85 mmHg, the app was associated with an accuracy of 84% for women and 77%...
