Sonde Health Launches Self-Serve API that Detects Respiratory Disease from Voice Changes
Sonde Health has launched a Developer Portal with access to its vocal biomarker-based health check technology and a self-serve application programming interface and documentation to allow developers to integrate Sonde's voice-enabled respiratory symptoms checker into their own iOS and Android mobile applications.
Built on research from more than 1 million voice samples and 80,000 individuals, Sonde's health condition monitoring technology uses advanced audio signal processing and machine learning to sense and analyze subtle changes in the voice due to changes in a person's physiology. With a six-second voice sample, the platform detects with more than 70 percent accuracy symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness or pain, which are found in several respiratory diseases.
"At Sonde, we're building products and technologies that empower people to proactively understand and manage their health, and we want to share them with the world," said David Liu, CEO of Sonde Health, in a statement. "We created the Developer Portal and self-serve API to spur innovation outside of Sonde so more people can benefit from our voice-enabled health check capabilities. We can't wait to see what new use cases are imagined to deliver actionable health data and insights to people."
Developers can also incorporate demographic or health-based questions (such as age, how is your cough today, etc.) into the workflow to better tailor the resources and recommendations their app serves users.
