Tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial disease mainly affecting the lungs, is one of the leading infectious causes of mortality worldwide. To prevent TB from spreading within the body, which causes life-threatening complications, timely and…
In this paper, we propose a standardized framework for automatic tuberculosis (TB) detection from cough audio and routinely collected clinical data using machine learning. While TB screening from audio has attracted growing interest,…
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can detect disease-related acoustic patterns in cough sounds, offering a scalable and cost-effective approach to tuberculosis (TB) screening in high-burden, resource-limited settings. Previous studies…
Objective: The automatic discrimination between the coughing sounds produced by patients with tuberculosis (TB) and those produced by patients with other lung ailments. Approach: We present experiments based on a dataset of 1358 forced…
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb.) that produces pulmonary damage due to its airborne nature. This fact facilitates the disease fast-spreading, which, according to the World Health…
We present a deep learning based automatic cough classifier which can discriminate tuberculosis (TB) coughs from COVID-19 coughs and healthy coughs. Both TB and COVID-19 are respiratory diseases, contagious, have cough as a predominant…
In this paper, a methodology for the automated detection and classification of Tuberculosis(TB) is presented. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by mycobacterium which spreads through the air and attacks low immune bodies easily. Our…
Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, TB was the leading cause of death from an infectious agent globally. However, most people exposed to M. tb…
In this work, we explore recurrent neural network architectures for tuberculosis (TB) cough classification. In contrast to previous unsuccessful attempts to implement deep architectures in this domain, we show that a basic bidirectional…
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial airborne disease, and is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.8 billion people are infected with TB and 1.6 million deaths were…
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease which is one of the leading causes of death, globally. The general diagnosis methods for tuberculosis include microscopic examination, tuberculin skin test, culture method, enzyme linked immunosorbent…
The automatic identification of cough segments in audio through the determination of start and end points is pivotal to building scalable screening tools in health technologies for pulmonary related diseases. We propose the application of…
Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne disease caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In 2023, according to the World Health Organization, it ''probably'' replaced COVID-19 as the leading cause of death from an infectious agent…
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic lung disease that occurs due to bacterial infection and is one of the top 10 leading causes of death. Accurate and early detection of TB is very important, otherwise, it could be life-threatening. In this…
The evaluation of infectious disease processes on radiologic images is an important and challenging task in medical image analysis. Pulmonary infections can often be best imaged and evaluated through computed tomography (CT) scans, which…
One of the most serious public health problems in Peru and worldwide is Tuberculosis (TB), which is produced by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The purpose of this work is to facilitate and automate the diagnosis of…
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease globally, with the highest burden in low- and middle-income countries. In these regions, limited healthcare access and high patient-to-provider ratios impede…
Large-scale tuberculosis (TB) screening is limited by the high cost and operational complexity of traditional diagnostics, creating a need for artificial-intelligence solutions. We propose DeepGB-TB, a non-invasive system that instantly…
We present an automatic non-invasive way of detecting cough events based on both accelerometer and audio signals. The acceleration signals are captured by a smartphone firmly attached to the patient's bed, using its integrated…
Tuberculosis, caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. This work seeks to facilitate and automate the prediction of tuberculosis by the MODS method and using…
