Project description
Vocal biomarkers for advanced health monitoring and disease prediction
The human voice holds secrets that science is only beginning to unlock. In fact, every breath we take carries hidden clues about our health. With this in mind, a groundbreaking initiative aims to harness these auditory signals for advanced health monitoring and disease prediction. The EU-funded VoiceMed-WomenTechEU project fuses vocal biomarkers, sound analysis, and AI to decode health mysteries concealed within our breathing. It deciphers subtle signals embedded within vocal sounds, transcending conventional parameters like wheezes or crackles. This enables seamless, instantaneous, and remote assessment, poised to revolutionise patient care. On the brink of a voice-powered medical revolution, the project resonates as a beacon of hope for enhanced healthcare.
Objective
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.
