AI-Powered Otoscopy Makes Headway in the Market
Artificial intelligence (AI) along with machine learning is the latest buzzword in the field of otoscopy that holds potential to considerably improve screening of hearing loss. AI involves the use of computers or machines that mimic cognitive functions like problem solving and learning associated with the human brain.
The technology is being used in the ENT and audiology arenas for adding advanced features and improving designs of hearing aids. These devices provide users with a seamless and effective listening experience by mimicking and predicting decision-related process for a specific listening condition. The technology is also finding use in otoscopes to improve access to the ear care in underserved regions. AI holds potential to assist users accurately determine otitis media or other conditions.
Image processing built on the technology can automatically categorize otoscopy-related images at relatively high accuracy. Based on the cloud and smart phones, the automated diagnosis system for otitis media can be further improved through a neural network intended to classify typical features of the tympanic membrane and ear canal.
These advanced systems such as HearX`s HearScope provide users with an affordable smart phone based video otoscope for capturing video and images of the tympanic membrane and ear canal. AI classifies the image within seconds using common ear-related disease categories including normal, chronic perforations, wax obstruction or abnormal from a massive database of ear-related images.
The data can be used by dedicated medical professional for diagnosing the condition and assigning the treatment course. The system relies on the cloud and allows users to upload images through the Internet. The AI-powered system holds potential to drastically improve access to ENT and audiology services across remote areas.
