Abstract
There is provided a wheeze detection apparatus including: a sound measurer configured to measure a pulmonary sound of a measurement subject; a respiratory sound volume deriver configured to derive a respiratory sound volume of the measurement subject based on the sound measured by the sound measurer; and a wheeze detector configured to extract a maximum point from an intensity distribution for each frequency of the sound and to detect wheeze based on information on the maximum point. The wheeze detector sets, in a case where the respiratory sound volume is outside a predetermined range, detection sensitivity of the wheeze to a higher value than the detection sensitivity in a case where the respiratory sound volume is within the range.
