Abstract

A method of disease management using voice data and an apparatus for performing the method can including receiving, by a voice based disease management device, user's voice data. The method and apparatus can also include generating, by the voice based disease management device, disease management data based on the voice data. Optionally, the step of generating disease management data can include extracting context data and out-of-context data based on the voice data.

Claims (18)

1 . A computer-implemented method of training at least two AI (artificial intelligence) engines for performing disease management using voice data, wherein the at least two AI engines comprise a common AI engine and an individual AI engine, the method comprising:

collecting user's voice data;

preprocessing the user's voice data;

extracting context data and out-of-context data from the voice data, wherein

the context data is characteristic data generated on a context including sentence completeness, word composition, or a vocabulary, and

the out-of-context data is characteristic data generated out of the context including a tone, a pitch, or a stuttering level;

extracting a plurality of first lower context data from the context data based on a first reference lower context data;

extracting a plurality of first lower out-of-context data from the out-of-context data based on a first reference lower out-of-context data;

training the common AI engine using the plurality of first lower context data and the plurality of first lower out-of-context data;

extracting a plurality of second lower context data from the context data based on a second reference lower context data;

extracting a plurality of second lower out-of-context data from the out-of-context data based on a second reference lower out-of-context data; and

training the individual AI engine using the plurality of second lower context data and the plurality of second lower out-of-context data,

wherein

the first reference lower context data is a data appears, with a predetermined ratio including percentage of eighty or more, in users having a specific disease,

the second reference lower context data is a data observed in a specific user or a specific user group having the specific disease, excluding the first reference lower context data,

the first reference lower out-of-context data is a data appears, with the predetermined ratio including percentage of eighty or more, in the users having the specific disease,

the second reference lower out-of-context data is a data observed in the specific user or the specific user group having the specific disease, excluding the first reference lower out-of-context data, and

the first reference lower context data and the first reference lower out-of-context data are adaptively changed according to an accumulation of the user's voice data.
