Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects approximately 18-27% of adults in North America; and chronic GERD is associated with Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Current screening and diagnostic procedures for GERD/BE are invasive, expensive, and uncomfortable for the patient. Automated screening tools for GERD/BE based on voice analysis and modern machine learning techniques could, however, potentially enable early detection of GERD/BE without invasive procedures. In this study, standardized, scripted speech is collected, analyzed, and compared across three groups, including a) patients with BE (BE+), b) patients without endoscopic evidence of BE (BE-), and c) patients without GERD and without voice symptoms (normal). Acoustic differences across groups are reported. In addition, multiple machine learning techniques are explored, and machine models are trained to detect the BE+ condition. The ability of selected machine learning models to discern across BE+, BE-, and normal conditions is reported.
