Abstract
The present invention relates to device, system and method for detecting a cardiac and/or respiratory disease of a subject. The proposed device comprises a sound input () for obtaining a sound signal representing sounds generated by the subject's body; a motion input () for obtaining a motion signal representing motions generated by the subject's body; and a processor () for processing the obtained sound signal and motion signal. This processing includes identifying inhalation and/or exhalation periods of the subject based on the motion signal, detecting abnormal lung sounds during inhalation and/or exhalation periods based on the sound signal, determining abnormal lung sound characteristics of the detected abnormal lung sounds, determining breathing characteristics of the subject's breathing based on the sound signal, determining the phase of the abnormal lung sounds in the inhalation-exhalation cycle, and detecting a cardiac and/or respiratory disease of the subject based on the determined abnormal lung sound characteristics, the determined breathing characteristics and the determined phase of the abnormal lung sounds in the inhalation-exhalation cycle.
