AI audio processing transforms healthcare

Jan Rychtar
onvox*, Praha

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing audio processing in healthcare. The article presents key applications: ambient AI scribe systems automatically generate medical documentation from doctor-patient conversations, saving hours of work and reducing burnout. Intelligent voicebots streamline phone communication in clinics. In diagnostics, AI analyzes cough sounds to detect respiratory diseases, while digital stethoscopes recognize heart murmurs with accuracy exceeding that of typical physicians. Voice analysis reveals signs of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's dementia, and depression. Smartphone applications enable sleep apnea screening from nighttime sounds. These non-invasive tools complement traditional procedures and make diagnostics accessible to broader populations.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, digital biomarkers, healthcare documentation, telemedicine, voice analysis, audio processing.
