Speech patterns can show warning signs for diseases, such as dementia. We’re building tools to detect signs of disease earlier, based on your speech.
The available assessments for neurological and psychiatric diseases can be complex, long and can be stressful. We are building better tools so that we can identify risk for disease more quickly and track them more accurately. This will allow people to take a proactive stance against illness and enable researchers to better understand mental health and disease.
