Dixon
Diagnostics.
Classifies based on single coughs.
Alison
Always Listening.
Detects cough and tracks frequency over time.
Patricia
Utilizes Alison's frequency data and Dixon's classifications.
Combines these with other data streams to detect complex patterns.
The most promising approach to powerful, reliable diagnostics.
Hyfe Dixon
Cough Classification
Name:
Dixon
Capabilities
Detects disease from the specific acoustic signature contained in single, half-second cough sounds. Decodes information about type of cough, sound characteristics of that cough, and disease status of the cougher.
Input
The sound of a single cough
Output
Cough classification. Acoustic analysis. Disease-likelihood score.
Synopsis
Dixon identifies previously unintelligible signals in cough sounds that are correlated with a wide range of respiratory indications.
Dixon can improve clinicians' screening and diagnosis accuracy. Dixon accelerates triage and reduces screening costs.
Hyfe Alison
Cough Frequency Tracking
Name:
Alison
Capabilities
Detects every cough in proximity.
Distinguishes between coughs and other, similar sounds.
Input
Continuous sound
Output
Longitudinal data stream. Time-stamped coughs.
Synopsis
Alison is always listening. She can run for days, weeks, months, or years at a time. She can track the coughs of individuals and monitor communal coughs in space.
Every cough Alison hears is time-stamped and plotted on a longitudinal data stream.
Hyfe Patricia
Pattern Recognition
Name:
Patricia
Capabilities
Utilizes Alison's frequency data and Dixon's classifications to identify patterns that have clinical and epidemiological significance.
Input
Longitudinal data stream + individual cough classification + any other data stream of relevance (e.g. humidity, pollen, pollution, sleep, blood oxygen, or heart rate).
Output
Disease prediction and prognosis, diagnostics, risk evaluation, outbreak alert
Synopsis
Patricia can detect the presence of disease before symptoms are present. Patricia can situate a patient on the trajectory of a disease path. Patricia can trigger an alert when a patient's cough pattern suggests urgent intervention is needed.
Patricia can act as a sentinel, locating cold, flu, and Covid outbreaks geographically. Patricia can serve as a pandemic alert system.
