HeartSound

Description

Android mobile app for digital stethoscope and heart sound audio classification. It can listen to heart sound in real time, record to WAV file and also play the file. It can also classify heart sound into two groups: abnormal and normal sound. HeartSound is standalone machine learning app that uses Physionet Challenge Dataset 2016 for model training. The app can achieve 82.77% in accuracy.

Background

Screening abnormal heart sound by lay persons may help detecting heart diseases earlier. Machine learning can be used to develop mobile device for helping them doing this screening easily. Fortunately, there is The Physionet Challenge Dataset 2016 that contains of 3,240 heart sound files consisting of 665 abnormal sound files and 2,575 normal sound files. With Tensorflow technology and this data set makes it possible to develop machine learning model for heart sound audio classification.

Features

This app can :

listen to heart sound in real time as a replacement for classical stethoscope.
record heart sound to WAV file.
classify heart sound by using machine learning.
setup microphone and speaker devices.
