Swaasa® - By Salcit Technologies reposted this
All-star team, years of work, a singular mission: globally accessible lung health This partnership of Swaasa® - By Salcit Technologies with Google marks a pioneering and truly accelerant step towards the company's mission. Not only are they India's first government-approved Software-as-a-Medical-Device (SaMD), but they are also the aggregator of arguably the world's largest physician-annotated cough database. Their 'Shazam for cough sounds' platform has already evaluated 300,000+ cough samples in India, and is now poised to go global with their solution. With COPD, TB, and other respiratory solutions affecting over 500 Million people globally, we need to be doing so much more to help, and Swaasa is a beacon of hope in this direction. Congrats to Narayana Rao Sripada Manmohan Jain Venkat Yechuri and the whole Swaasa team on this milestone, and wishing them all the very best and more in the journey ahead. 🚀 It's been a privilege to play a role in their journey. #healthtech #startups #ai #healthcare #google
The sounds our bodies make are filled with information about our health 🎧 That’s why researchers at Google have been exploring ways to use AI to extract health insights from bioacoustics. Health Acoustic Representations, or HeAR, is a bioacoustic foundation model designed to help researchers build models that listen to human sounds and flag early signs of disease. Swaasa® - By Salcit Technologies, an India-based respiratory healthcare company, is using HeAR to help with early detection of tuberculosis based on cough sounds. HeAR is now available externally to researchers to help accelerate development of custom bioacoustic models – learn more: https://goo.gle/4fPF6id
