Abstract

Determining lung capacity of includes capturing an audio waveform of the user performing an utterance presented to a user. A video of the user performing the utterance can be captured. The captured audio waveform and the video are analyzed for compliance. Based on the audio waveform, an indicator of respiratory function is determined. The indicator is compared with a reference indicator to determine health of the user. A machine learning model such as neural network can be trained to predict the indicator of the respiratory function based on input features comprising audio spectral and temporal characteristics of utterances. Determining the indicator or respiratory function can include running the trained machine learning model.
