AI for Early Pneumonia Detection in Dementia Patients via Cough Analysis – Oleg Zaslavsky
Pneumonia is a major health risk for people living with dementia, and is one of the top reasons people with dementia are hospitalized. An easy way to screen people living with dementia for pneumonia could preserve the health of those individuals and save numerous lives. This innovative pilot study hopes to take early steps to building an AI model that can detect pneumonia just by the sound of someone’s cough.
