Listen-to-nose: a low-cost system to record nasal symptoms in daily life

Published:05 September 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes Listen-to-Nose, a phone-based system that detects and records when and where a person's nose-related symptoms, such as sneezing and runny nose, occur in everyday settings. It is hoped that this system can be used to collect reference data for doctors to diagnose the cause of these symptoms.
