MODELING SYMPTOMS THAT CANNOT BE MEASURED REMOTELY OR OBJECTIVELY TODAY

Speech is a complex phenomenon and its production involves the coordination of different body functions — from brain activity to muscular movements. This complexity is what makes voice a window into health: a biomarker.
The

brain

is the command center for speech, producing content, determining sentiment and controlling the production of sounds.
The

lungs

provide the power source needed for speech, producing an airstream which enables phonation and vocalization.
The

vocal folds

vibrate to produce the fundamental tones of speech, acting as the primary sound generator.
The

facial muscles

and the tongue play a key role in the articulation and modulation of speech sounds.

Voice is inherently a

multi-modal

signal
Traditionally, biomarkers are key indicators that measure normal or abnormal biological processes or responses to treatments. When these biomarkers are harnessed through digital sensing products, they become digital biomarkers. At ki:elements, we pioneer speech-based digital biomarkers: the intersection of digital sensing with the power of speech analysis. Our biomarkers are not specified to indications but measure symptoms across indications — one biomarker serves multiple pathologies.

Why

ki:elements
Unlike conventional methods, our speech biomarkers provide non-invasive, highly accessible, and cost-effective measures for monitoring and screening a wide range of pathologies.

THE MILI SYSTEM

Deploying speech biomarkers into

real world

applications
Mili is a data collection solution for the design, administration, and remote conduction of studies collecting speech in the field of medicine and pharmacy. Based on ki:e’s universal speech task approach, it covers a broad range of diseases. Mili is a highly configurable modular platform which can be extended or integrated into third party solutions easily. Assessments can take place via an app or via (automated) phone call.

Research-based innovation

We have had the opportunity to work alongside leading pharmaceutical companies and clinical research teams. Our track record is reflected on our large number of scientific publications in specialized and high-impact-factor journals.
