The technology system called Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR) was trained on millions of audio clips of human sounds from the YouTube database.
Google scientists are zoning in on health care products and innovations powered by artificial intelligence, including a tool that could detect a health condition based on audio of coughing and breathing.
What’s unique about Google’s HeAR technology is how it can be fine-tuned to perform multiple tasks through something called supervised learning, Nature said. HeAR’s ability to detect diseases like tuberculosis through cough sounds could particularly benefit patients in communities where chest X-rays are scarce or unavailable, the scientists said.
