Swaasa Innovation Monitors Your Lung Health

Swaasa – As the globe grapples with the COVID-19 epidemic, the importance of respiratory health has become clear. With the increasing frequency of respiratory disorders and worries about air pollution, there is an increased demand for novel systems that can monitor lung health in real time.

That’s where a Hyderabad-based firm comes in with a game-changing innovation that allows you to monitor your lung health with little more than a cell phone. This firm is paving the way for a new era of proactive lung health management that puts the power in the hands of the user by harnessing the latest in AI and machine learning.

Swaasa

Swaasa, an AI-based program created by Salcit Technologies, can diagnose lung problems with a 90% accuracy rate by studying human coughs. Aside from cough analysis, the program considers additional patient data such as medical history, temperature, and vital signs to help in the early diagnosis of lung infections and illnesses.

Venkat Yechuri, Narayana Rao Sripada, and Manmohan Jain created Salcit Technologies in 2017 after seeing the need for an AI-powered sound analysis system that could cater to lung health requirements

Device innovation

During a meeting with Dr. Ananta Krishnan of AIIMS, the team saw the need for an easy-to-install technology to detect lung health in remote and rural health institutions. Because it is very hard to set up a spirometry test in such regions, Narayana and his colleagues began by studying the acoustics of heart and lung noises.

They next focused on cough sounds to evaluate the frequency of underlying illnesses. This discovery inspired the creation of Swaasa, an AI-powered screening program that addresses the unmet demand for lung health screening in rural regions.

Patients attempting to control conditions such as Asthma and COPD may require specialized and ongoing care. Their location as well as the availability of time-constrained doctors. Swaasa is used by healthcare workers and clinicians to establish an educated diagnosis of lung health and to recommend a course of action.

The gadget is designed to test lung health accurately using cough noises. Swaasa, which is powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, employs Audiometric Analysis to decipher information derived from cough noises and other crucial data to give insights into the lungs’ health.
