Google finally became a doctor! It will understand the disease from the cough.

Google will be able to diagnose diseases from sound with HeAR AI. This is very important for early diagnosis.

Google is developing an artificial intelligence tool called HeAR that analyzes data to detect symptoms of certain diseases. Google has trained HeAR with more than 300 million sound samples, including 100 million cough sounds. In this context, it wants to be the best in detecting diseases from sounds.

Google will be able to diagnose with HeAR AI

HeAR, which stands for Health Acoustic Representations, will allow researchers to create models that can listen to human voices and mark early signs of disease. One of the diseases that HeAR promises hope for early diagnosis is tuberculosis.

Google has partnered with healthcare company Salcit Technologies to apply HeAR to real-world healthcare services. Salcit uses its own artificial intelligence model called Swaasa to analyze cough sounds and track lung health. It was stated that this model will be based on HeAR and will be tested for a while.

If successful in diagnosing diseases from coughs, HeAR is thought to have major implications for global health. By analyzing sounds through a smartphone microphone, it could enable screening in areas where advanced medical equipment is not available. This could potentially save many lives.

Doctors are currently skeptical of technologies that challenge traditional diagnostic methods. However, Google’s agreement with several health companies has shown HeAR’s potential. We’ll see how successful “Dr. Google” will be over time.
