RESPIRATORY SOUND ANALYSIS APPARATUS, RESPIRATORY SOUND ANALYSIS METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a respiratory sound analysis apparatus capable of suitably analyzing continuous rhonchus contained in respiratory sounds.SOLUTION: The respiratory sound analysis apparatus comprises: component acquisition means 210, 220 for acquiring a respiratory sound component which contains continuous rhonchus; frequency acquisition means 230 for acquiring the frequency corresponding to a specific characteristic contained in the respiratory sound component; and determination means 240 for determining a whistling rale component and a rhonchus component contained in the respiratory sound component on the basis of a relationship between the frequency corresponding to the specific characteristic and the threshold value varying in response to the frequency corresponding to the specific characteristic.
