This study proposes a deep learning-based framework for the automated detection of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using respiratory sound analysis. Breath sound recordings are preprocessed through resampling, silence trimming, and Wiener filtering to enhance signal quality. Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is employed to convert audio signals into spectrogram representations, which are further augmented using time masking, frequency masking, and time warping to improve model generalization. The proposed model utilizes EfficientNet with multi-scale feature fusion to capture both local and global patterns in respiratory sounds. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance, with an accuracy of 99.21%, sensitivity of 99.56%, and specificity of 100%, outperforming existing CNN, ResNet, and SVM-based methods. The findings indicate that the proposed method is a reliable and efficient tool for non-invasive respiratory disease diagnosis.
