Fresh AI Technology to Help Detect Swine Respiratory Illnesses

15th May 2024

An AI gadget that is always learning has been created to identify respiratory disorders in swine up to five days earlier than traditional techniques.

The gadget was created by Boehringer Ingelheim, a supplier of medical treatments for anticipating and averting illness epidemics in pigs.

It alerts the farmer to possible issues by using AI systems to hear the rate and severity of swine coughing.

While hearing and tracking tools are not unfamiliar, SoundTalks stands out due to the information it gathered to create the algorithms it uses for comparing and recognising coughs, as well as the fact that the device is always “learning.”

A digital platform and a smartphone application are used to display the respiratory health score, which is derived from the sound information and inversely associated with the probability of illness as well as death.

Head of livestock at Boehringer Ingelheim, stated: “Respiratory diseases can be detrimental not only to the health and wellbeing of livestock but a farmer’s bottom line.”

“Through tools like SoundTalks, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to creating innovative solutions that enable farmers to predict, prevent and treat animal health conditions, helping them to achieve more.”
