BioDigit Speech: Integrated Speech Collection and Biomarker Analysis Technology

BioSensics is pleased to announce the launch of BioDigit Speech, a state-of-the-art solution for speech data collection and analysis in clinical trials and research. BioDigit Speech standardizes collection of speech data and measures over 40 speech outcomes by leveraging information in the audio waveform, spectrum, and cepstrum to capture phonatory, articulatory, prosody, and intelligibility features of speech.

BioDigit Speech is developed in part with the support of the National Institute of Health (NIH) and is currently being used in multiple clinical trials and studies in Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, ALS, dementia, and Alzheimer's.

BioDigit Speech is integrated into BioDigit Home, a multi-modal platform for remote measurement of motor, speech, and cognitive functions at patients' homes. BioDigit Home includes over 100 digital assessments and complete ePRO capabilities, and is often used in conjunction with the PAMSys sensor for continuous monitoring of physical activity, posture, and falls.

Dr. Vaziri will be discussing our speech studies at the NIH Bridge2AI Voice Symposium on April 19 in Washington D.C., and the Digital Health Innovation Summit on June 6-7 in San Francisco.
