Georgia Tech engineers have developed AI that can identify diarrhea with up to 98% accuracy and could help us catch disease outbreaks early.
Dec. 27, 2022 -- Artificial intelligence has achieved another milestone: Discerning the sound of an unhealthy bowel movement.
Cholera infects millions of people each year, killing up to 143,000 who become dehydrated from severe diarrhea,. Many deaths could be avoided with an oral rehydration solution if the outbreak is spotted fast enough. Cholera can be lethal within 24 hours after symptoms start. The idea grew out of conversations about how COVID-19 can be monitored by analyzing sewage, says project co-lead Alexis Noel, PhD, a biomechanics engineering researcher at the institute.“I was curious if we could detect diarrhea using sound,” Noel says, “as some folks are a little wary about having a camera pointed at their bum in the toilet.”
For example, urination has a consistent tone and defecation may have a singular tone. Diarrhea's sound is more random.
