Abstract

This paper presents a novel implementation of a DSP based acquisition and elaboration system for vocal signals. The proposed system performs real time spectro-acustic analysis of acquired voice samples and gives a visual feedback to patients alerting them about the eventual presence of anomalies. The prototype will be used for rehabilitation purpose (after medical treatment or surgery) or prevention purpose (early diseases detection).
