Google trains AI on 300M sounds to detect diseases via smartphone audio (Interesting Engineering)

Google is training AI to diagnose diseases by listening to the sounds produced by the human body. The project aims to use AI to analyze sounds like heartbeats, lung function, and other bodily noises to detect early signs of illness. This approach could revolutionize non-invasive diagnostics, making it possible to identify conditions like heart disease or respiratory issues more quickly and accurately. Google’s initiative represents a significant leap in integrating AI with healthcare to enhance early disease detection.
