Identifying acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using patient-reported symptoms and cough feature analysis
Abstract Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are commonly encountered in the primary care setting, though the accurate and timely diagnosis is problematic. Using technology like that employed in speech recognition technology, we developed a smartphone-based algorith...
