Respiratory disorders like wheezing, crackles, and other breathing issues affect millions worldwide, often going undetected until they worsen, leading to higher mortality rates and strained healthcare systems. Early diagnosis through auscultation remains challenging due to subjective interpretation by clinicians and limitations in traditional tools. This paper introduces RespireCare AI, a web-based real-time system that tackles these issues by analyzing respiratory audio signals. We preprocess sounds into spectrograms via Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and feed them into a hybrid CNN-LSTM model, where convolutional layers capture spatial patterns in frequency-time representations and LSTM handles sequential dependencies for precise classification of normal breathing, wheezing, crackles, and associated diseases. Deployed on a user-friendly web interface, the system processes live audio inputs with low latency, delivering instant results alongside interactive visualizations like spectrogram heatmaps and confidence scores to aid clinical decisions. Experiments show our approach achieves over 95% accuracy, outperforming standalone CNN or LSTM models by 8-10%. RespireCare AI thus offers a practical, scalable tool for point-of-care screening, potentially transforming respiratory health management in resource-limited settings.
KEYWORDS
This paper presented RespireCare AI, a web-based clinical decision support system designed to automate the detection and classification of respiratory disorders using a hybrid CNN-LSTM deep learning architecture. The system addressed a genuine gap in existing diagnostic tools by combining real-time audio processing, spectrogram-based feature extraction, and sequential pattern analysis into a single integrated platform. By converting raw respiratory sounds into Mel-spectrograms and processing them through convolutional and recurrent layers, the system achieved a classification accuracy of approximately 97.2% across four pulmonary conditions — Normal, Asthma, COPD, and Pneumonia. The results demonstrated that combining spatial and temporal analysis leads to more reliable disease prediction compared to conventional single-model approaches. The interactive web interface further enhanced the system's practical value by providing clinicians with real-time waveform visualization, probability scores, and actionable clinical recommendations alongside each diagnosis. While the current implementation shows promising results, factors such as input audio quality and training data diversity remain areas for further improvement. Future work will focus on expanding the dataset, integrating continuous microphone-based monitoring, and exploring transfer learning strategies to improve generalization across varied patient demographics. Overall, RespireCare AI demonstrates how combining modern deep learning techniques with accessible web technology can meaningfully support early respiratory diagnosis in clinical settings
