Google has developed an artificial intelligence model called Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR) that can analyze cough sounds to diagnose diseases, including tuberculosis. The technology is being utilized in India to help researchers identify acoustic biomarkers for various health conditions. This innovative approach aims to extract health insights from the sounds our bodies make, such as coughs and sneezes, potentially facilitating early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
