Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method for determining whether a patient has an acute respiratory infection. In one embodiment, the present method involves using a handheld device to acquire an audio signal of a sound made by a patient coughing. The audio signal is then communicated, by the handheld device, to a remote computing device. Upon receiving the audio signals, signal are repeatedly retrieved from a database of signals associated with different severities of various acute respiratory conditions. A comparison is made between the received audio signal and the retrieved signals. As a result of the comparison, a determination is made whether the patient has an acute respiratory infection. An audio playback device may be employed for playing the audio signal so that a medical professional can listen to that audio signal and facilitate the determination. Various embodiments are disclosed.
