Task

Use cases

Detection of airway stenosis (in cases with and without stridor)

Primary care settings for complaints related to the airway (e.g., to reduce the misdiagnosis of stenosis as asthma)

Detection of the stridor sound as a symptom of airway narrowing, which is often caused by airway stenosis but may have other causes

ER/Urgent care settings, for detection of serious airway problems requiring urgent attention, regardless of cause
