Canary Speech: The app that detects depression, anxiety and disease from the sound of your voice

  • Résumé

  • For many veterans, mental health challenges can appear after their service.

    So imagine if depression, anxiety or even diseases that result in cognitive decline could be detected from just the sound of our voice. And, all of this it could be easily accessed through your phone.

    Well, it’s happening- within the new, AI-powered, voice analysis app, Canary Speech.

    We talked about it's benefits for veterans with co-founder and acclaimed scientist Henry O’Connell. He described how together with Jeff Adams, a leader in speech and language technology, they combined expertise in neurology and speech technology (Henry at the National Institutes of Health, and Jeff leading Amazon Alexa’s speech AI team) to explore how this type of speech technology could be used in medicine.

    We took a deep dive into how Canary Speech works- analyzing the vocal tones far beneath the actual words we speak. And we learned how this app can serve as a useful tool to track our mental health.

    We even learned how the classic cartoon, “Winnie the Pooh” helped in the process of creating this innovative app.
