Canary Speech, an innovator in AI-driven vocal biomarker technology, announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft, which the company says will help it set new industry standards for managing mental health and cognitive conditions. News of the partnership comes as Canary Speech prepares to be featured within the Microsoft Booth at this year’s HIMSS conference, set for March 3rd-6th in Las Vegas.
Canary Speech is leveraging Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare to grow its operations. The company is currently focused on expansion in the U.S., Japan, the U.K., and South America. Additionally, the company integrates with Microsoft Azure, enabling healthcare organizations to subscribe to Canary Speech’s software to monitor patients for early disease detection and impairment.
“Microsoft’s commitment to working with partners facilitates digital transformation in healthcare,” said Henry O’Connell, CEO and co-founder of Canary Speech. “The opportunities provided by Microsoft are helping us transform our business to deliver impactful, human-centered solutions. AI-enabled vocal biomarkers, powered by ambient listening, are revolutionizing healthcare by providing objective, real-time insights that enhance clinical decision-making.” O’Connell added that Canary Speech views the human voice as “the next vital sign—empowering clinicians with cutting-edge tools to drive digital transformation and improve patient outcomes.”
Canary Speech credits its work with Microsoft for enhancing its strategic vision for the future. Applying AI and machine learning to speech biomarkers, Canary Speech’s technology offers an alternative to subjective behavioral health measurements by capturing and measuring critical data.
Dr. Kathy VanEnkevort, industry leader of U.S. Health & Life Sciences at Microsoft, added, “The future is conversational. With Canary Speech, we can unlock the potential of the human voice in healthcare. By analyzing vocal biomarkers, we can gain valuable insights into an individual’s well-being, democratize access to expertise, and ultimately, arrest needless suffering.”
