Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension, a prevalent global health concern, is associated with cardiovascular diseases and significant morbidity and mortality. Accurate and prompt Blood Pressure monitoring is crucial for early detection and successful management. Traditional cuff-based methods can be inconvenient, leading to the exploration of non-invasive and continuous estimation methods. This research aims to bridge the gap between speech processing and health monitoring by investigating the relationship between speech recordings and Blood Pressure estimation. Speech recordings offer promise for non-invasive Blood Pressure estimation due to the potential link between vocal characteristics and physiological responses. In this study, we focus on the role of Voice-over Artists, known for their ability to convey emotions through voice. By exploring the expertise of Voice-over Artists in controlling speech and expressing emotions, we seek valuable insights into the potential correlation between speech characteristics and Blood Pressure. This research sheds light on presenting an innovative and convenient approach to health assessment. By unraveling the specific role of Voice-over Artists in this process, the study lays the foundation for future advancements in healthcare and human-robot interactions. Through the exploration of speech characteristics and emotional expression, this investigation offers valuable insights into the correlation between vocal features and Blood Pressure levels. By leveraging the expertise of Voice-over Artists in conveying emotions through voice, this study enriches our understanding of the intricate relationship between speech recordings and physiological responses, opening new avenues for the integration of voice-related factors in healthcare technologies.
