Abstract: Isolating pediatric asthma from pediatric pneumonia is one of the serious issues in remote territories. These sicknesses have covering side effects, however require radically extraordinary medicines. Existing rules for pneumonia order in asset poor areas from The World Health Organization require the utilization of bronchodilator test to isolate asthma from pneumonia. In any case, bronchodilator is a costly test to direct and not effectively accessible in remote regions. In this investigation, we star represent an imaginative and novel system utilizing hack sound examination to isolate pneumonia cases from asthma. In crafted by this paper we dissected hack sound information from 20 subjects (10 pneumonia and 10 asthma patients). Utilizing scientific highlights of hack sounds, a HMM classifier was prepared to distinguish pneumonic hack and asthmatic hack. At that point by registering Pneumonic Cough Index every patient was delegated either into pneumonia or asthma. Proposed strategy accomplished a precision of 90% (affectability = 100% and explicitness = 80%) in arranging pneumonia and asthma patients. Our outcomes demonstrate that hack sound convey basic data which can be utilized to isolate asthma patients from pneumonia. Proposed strategy in this paper indicates potential to turn into an option for bronchodilator test in the asset poor zones of the world.
