Our mission is to unlock voice as a vital sign and meaningful predictor of health.
Preventative: “(adj.) used to stop something bad from happening”
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Around the world, healthcare has been based on a warranty system that is fundamentally reactive: the system engages once something is broken.
At Sonde, preventative healthcare is at the heart of everything we do.
We strive to enable any organization that supports people and their health to be more proactive, to provide those individuals with engaging ways to detect health conditions so they are able to act. What if everyone had access to low cost, actionable health condition data much earlier than they do today?
Supporting healthcare and wellness
At Sonde, we are in the business of helping people make informed decisions through useful data. We boost available health signals so everyone, most of all the individual, can exercise even better judgement in evaluating their health.
To achieve this, we strive to better understand a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. We have launched mental fitness (depression, anxiety) , cognitive fitness (mild cognitive impairment), and respiratory fitness (asthma, COPD, COVID-19), with more on the way.
Advancing voice technology
We’re also passionate about the interplay of physiological data and human health, with a relentless focus on discovering how those connections can help you. We believe that targeting voice technologies on major health conditions will catalyze understanding, driving better patient outcomes.
Ultimately, we’re striving to build tools that empower people to more effectively manage their health.
Voice as the ultimate biomarker
When we founded Sonde, we looked high and low for the best possible vital sign that could support health condition measurements on devices we carry and use every day. It turns out, smartphones, laptops and tablets have microphones that can be used for supporting your health, not just videoconferencing and posting videos to social media. We found nothing has more depth or richness of information than human speech.
