General information
- Short Summary
- The project aims to develop Revolutionizing Early Disease Detection Through AI-Powered Speech Analysis. Turkish Company seeks partners for the EIC Pathfinder Open or EIC Pathfinder Challenges
- Full Description
-
The company is developing an AI-driven diagnostic system that analyzes natural speech patterns to detect subtle biomarkers for early-stage health conditions. This non-invasive solution integrates voice signals with complementary health data modalities to create a transformative screening tool. Supported by clinical research, the platform aims to improve diagnostic accuracy while reducing costs and patient discomfort. The Company seeks partners with expertise in clinical data curation, multimodal AI integration, and health technology deployment.
This project pioneers a novel approach to early disease detection by combining advanced speech analysis with multimodal health data. The system utilizes proprietary AI architectures to identify clinically relevant patterns in voice signals, correlating them with other diagnostic parameters for enhanced accuracy. Designed as a patient-centric solution, it prioritizes accessibility and scalability for diverse populations.
Key Technical Focus Areas:
● Multimodal Data Fusion: Development of AI models to integrate speech signals with complementary health data streams.
● Privacy-Preserving AI: Implementation of federated learning frameworks for secure data collaboration.
● Bias Mitigation: Synthetic data generation techniques to ensure equitable performance across demographics. - Advantages and Innovations
