Abstract:
Acoustic analysis technology is a non-invasive method in biomedical engineering. Ituses digital analysis to detect changes in sound caused by illness. Acoustic analysis provides essential supplementary data for the early diagnosis, monitoring and evaluation of treatments for several respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, tuberculosis, asthma and sleep apnea. This article introduces research models and common sound types in acoustics medicine.It summarizes their applications in diagnosing respiratory diseases and discusses current challenges in this field. The article aims to offer new perspectives for the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases.
