Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An electronic stethoscope with the recording function of the auscultatory sound has been used in the field of the home-vist nursing with digitalization of medical equipment. In addition, electronic stethoscope has transmission function of the recorded auscultatory sound. Therefore, it is possible to request the diagnosis of auscultatory sounds which are trasmitted to the doctor in the hospital. However, it takes a long time to diagnose all auscultatory sounds transmitted. For the reason, it takes more time to return diagnosis result to the patient. For this problem, it is possible to shorten the time until the diagnosis by detecting the possibility of abnormal respiratory sound using the abnormal respiratory sound automatic detection system in the field home-visit nursing. In this paper, we propose a method of detecting the feature of the abnormal respiratory sound using wavelet transform. In the proposed method, we have detected feature of abnormal respiratory sound using the distribution of the wavelet coefficients of the normal respiratory sound and the abnormal respiratory sound.
