From coughing to talking to breathing, the sounds our bodies make are packed with health information. The subtle clues hidden in these bioacoustic sounds have the potential to revolutionize how we test, diagnose, monitor, and manage a range of health conditions, including tuberculosis (TB) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As Google researchers, we recognize the potential for sound to be useful health signals, and we also recognize the widespread availability of smartphone microphones. That's why we've been exploring how we can use AI to derive health insights from acoustic data.Earlier this year, Google announced Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR), a…
