System and method for estimating hormone level and physiological conditions by analysing speech samples
First Claim
1. A system (101) for detecting hormone level and physiological conditions of a user, the system comprising:
- a processor (201); and
a memory (203) coupled with the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a plurality of programmed instructions stored in the memory (203), the plurality of programmed instructions comprising instructions for;
interactively guiding a user to utter specifics of a speech via a user device (104) communicatively coupled with the processor (201);
recording, via the user device, one or more speech samples associated with the user based upon the specifics of speech uttered by the user;
isolating one or more phonation segments from the one or more speech samples to obtain one or more isolated phonation segments;
filtering the one or more isolated phonation segments to remove noise from the one or more isolated phonation segments to obtain one or more filtered phonation segments;
isolating one or more uttered speech segments from the one or more filtered phonation segments;
performing acoustic-phonetic analysis of the one or more uttered speech segments to extract one or more speech features; and
determining one or more speech markers and a corresponding hormone level of the user based upon the one or more speech features.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system and method for estimating hormone levels and physiological conditions of a user by analysing speech samples of said user. A user device of the user may record specifics of speech and use these specifics of speech as a speech sample of user'"'"'s utterance. The user device may transmit the speech samples to a backend system. The system may isolate phonation segments from the speech samples. The system may filter the one or more phonation segments. The system may isolate uttered speech segments from the one or more phonation segments. The system may perform an acoustic-phonetic analysis of the uttered speech segments. The acoustic-phonetic analysis may use plurality of features for the analysis. The IPA phonemes may be used to derive speech markers that correspond to specific hormones and levels thereof. The system may generate a hormone level report which is transmitted to the user.
