Digital Speech Assessment in Huntington Disease

Speech assessments play a pivotal role in evaluating neurological disorders, providing crucial insights into cognitive function, motor control, and language processing abilities.

FRONTIERS IN NEUROLOGY: Digital assessment of speech in Huntington disease

In our recent paper, published in Frontiers in Neurology, we highlighted the use of BioDigit Speech^TM in collecting and analyzing speech data from patients with Huntington disease (HD). The results revealed significant differences in speech qualities such as pause, intelligibility, and accuracy between 3 groups (controls, prodromal HD and HD). Clinical status and disease severity were predicted using the speech features and machine learning models. 

GERONTOLOGY : Harnessing Speech-Derived Digital Biomarkers to Detect and Quantify Cognitive Decline Severity in Older Adults

I am also thrilled to share with you another recent paper from our team on the use of BioDigit Speech^TM to detect and quantify cognitive decline in older adults. The paper highlights the potential of speech data for remote, frequent monitoring of cognitive health, and also as a sensitive digital tool for patient screening.

BioDigit Speech™ is currently being used in studies in ALS, myasthenia gravis, progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, as well as multiple studies in dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
