  • Publication number: 20240161925
    Abstract: A learning device 1X mainly includes a first acquisition means 31X, a second acquisition means 32X, and a learning means 34X. The first acquisition means 31X acquires a partial waveform of electrocardiogram data regarding an electrocardiogram of a subject. The second acquisition means 32X acquires an attention interval, which is used as a basis for a diagnosis of a target disease, in a sequential waveform of the electrocardiogram data. The learning means 34X trains a model configured to diagnose the target disease, based on the partial waveform and the attention interval.

  • Publication number: 20230320690
    Abstract: An analysis device includes a detection unit that detects abnormality in lung sounds for each of auscultation positions on the basis of time-series acoustic signals including lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions; a determination unit that determines severity of heart failure of a patient on the basis of a detection result of abnormality in the lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions detected by the detection unit and condition information representing a condition of the patient; and an output unit that decides whether or not to output predetermined information to an external device on the basis of a result of determination by the determination unit, and performs output corresponding to a result of decision.
