Use of machine learning and voice for multiclass classification of Parkinson’s disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and

Alper Idrisoglu, Anders Behrens

Abstract:Parkinson’s disease (PD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prevalent conditions with substantial impact on quality of life and health care systems. Both disorders affect voice production through different physiological mechanisms, yet neither condition has a widely adopted objective biomarker for routine clinical use. Voice analysis has emerged as…

SUMMARY Background In addition to impairing the lung function, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) also affects phonatory characteristics. Recent research highlights the potential of voice as a digital biomarker to support clinical decision-making. While machine learning (ML) can detect disease patterns from acoustic features, clinical relevance requires understanding the relationship…

I am delighted to share that I have successfully defended my PhD in Applied Health Technology at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH). My research explored how voice can serve as a digital biomarker for assessing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using machine learning. This work contributes to developing non-invasive, data-driven…

Abstract:The process of internationalising higher education brings about numerous benefits f or t eaching a nd l earning activities. It fosters an extensive exchange of information that extends beyond national borders. Nonetheless, achieving an acceptable standard of quality to meet the expectations of international students necessitates diligent feedback and inquiry…
