Improving hearing care pathways with the use of machine learning

Lecturer: Jesus Rogel-Salazar (TympaHealth Technologies)

Abstract: The loss of hearing has huge implications for social isolation, quality of life and the safety of individual patients. Accessing ear and hearing health services is often difficult and time consuming for patients. Many patients will require multiple appointments across a period of time. With that in mind we are using technology to provide quicker and easer access to hearing health. The portable Tympa system uses machine learning to offer a complete hearing health check helping doctors and healthcare practitioners to provide better outcomes for patients. In this talk we will provide an overview of our journey and concentrate on the uses of machine vision to support our mission.
