Research objective:
Speech pathology is a field of health science which deals with the evaluation of speech, language, and voice disorders. The voice disorders caused due to defects in the speech organs or multiple disabilities reduces the quality of life along with occupational performance, which results in considerable costs for both the patient and the society. Traditionally, diagnosis of voice pathology is carried out using invasive methods such as the direct inspection and observations of the vocal folds by using endoscopic instruments. Needless to say, these techniques are expensive, risky, time consuming, discomfort to the patients and requires costly resources. To mitigate these problems and lower the barriers, noninvasive screening methods needs to be developed to help the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) clinicians and speech therapists for assessment and diagnosis of vocal fold pathologies.
Hence, my research focus is on automatic detection and classification of different voice disorders using noninvasive speech based techniques, with the objective of improving the quality of patient's life by providing the right care at the right time.
