Canary Speech

Real-time Analytics

Traditional health tests and biomarkers have their limitations, from collection speed to potential biases.

With the American startup’s proprietary vocal biomarker technology, a 40-second voice sample can match the data density of an MRI, producing thousands of markers of speech and up to 12 million data elements.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Reaching thousands of patients, Canary Speech can now train new vocal models in as little as two months and handle millions of transactions per month with Azure.

Solution

Canary Speech built a Microsoft-based workflow around Azure AI Speech, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Front Door, and Microsoft Sentinel because Traditional health tests and biomarkers have their limitations, from collection speed to potential biases. Source information is captured from frontline systems, documents, transactions, images, or conversations and then processed with cloud services that classify, summarize, model, or route the data for downstream use. The resulting records are stored in shared business or analytical systems and surfaced through apps, dashboards, or case workflows so staff can move from manual review to faster action while still keeping a governed human-in-the-loop process. This turns scattered data into an operational workflow rather than a static report, making the same platform useful for both daily execution and future scaling, and Reaching thousands of patients, Canary Speech can now train new vocal models in as little as two months and handle...

Data flow

Source data is captured from frontline systems or content, processed by the Microsoft-based workflow, stored in a shared business or analytical layer, and then surfaced back to staff through apps, dashboards, or case-management experiences.

Evidence from the source

. Once a speech sample is processed in Azure, clinicians receive a vocal score they can use to track the presence and severity of diseases and impairment. That result can then support decisions to refer high-risk patients to specialists for optimal treatment and care.
“With Microsoft Azure, we can process conversational speech and return scores within three seconds, offering real-time information to doctors and clinical team members on patients’ welfare and medical state.”
