Descripción del proyecto
Voice can tell a lot of information about our health. We believe that voice is the new blood for medical diagnosis.
Asthma is a long-term disease that affects the lungs and airways. It is one of the most common chronic diseases with 5.8% of the EU population suffering from asthma - ~30 mill people. Doctors have always relied on the patient’s voice as one of the first parameters to assess health. When they talk to a patient, they carefully listen to their breathing, cough, and speech looking for specific signs. However, doctors usually evaluate patients without using any digital solution, leading to a 50% rate in non-well-controlled patients.
Deep-tech innovation: VoiceMed uses vocal biomarkers combined with sound analysis and artificial intelligence. Our technology detects subtle signals in the sounds produced by the vocal apparatus. When the association between a signal either a normal biological or pathogenic state is fully validated, these signals become vocal biomarkers. This process allows going beyond the sounds routinely used in medical practice, such as wheezes or crackles, and unlocking a new dimension of biomarkers that can be assessed remotely, instantaneously and with no extra equipment.
