Canary Speech and Veteran Business Project form a partnership to deliver cutting-edge vocal biomarker technology to veteran entrepreneurs.
Provo, Utah, August 5, 2024
Canary Speech, the Provo, Utah-based AI-powered voice biomarker health tech company that uses real-time vocal analysis to screen for mental health and neurological disorders, announces a groundbreaking collaboration with The Veteran Business Project, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization focused on building entrepreneurship amongst veterans. The partnership aims to provide veteran entrepreneurs with AI tools to manage their mental health, enhance their business success, and overall well-being.
Canary's proprietary vocal biomarker technology has a wide range of applications within the healthcare industry. These applications include contact centers, ambient clinical listening, remote patient monitoring, and annual wellness checks. Ambient listening tools, which are systems designed to unobtrusively capture and analyze conversations in real-time, enable healthcare providers to focus on patient interactions while automatically documenting clinical notes.
Utilizing Canary Speech’s app, a 40 second voice recording processes millions of data points in a person’s speech and reports back results of their stress, mood, and energy levels immediately. This real-time assessment allows veterans to monitor their mental health effectively, understand potential mental health triggers, and receive personalized wellness recommendations. This initiative gives veterans the tools to actively manage their mental health and focus more effectively on achieving their business objectives.
“This partnership with Canary Speech aligns seamlessly with our mission of 'Offering Hope, Saving Lives,'” said Lynn Lowder, CEO and Founder of Veteran Business Project. “By equipping our veterans with cutting-edge technology, we’re not just enhancing their ability to succeed in business—we’re ensuring they receive the support they need and deserve, fundamentally enriching their lives.”
“We are immensely proud to support our veterans through this forward-thinking approach that integrates mental health best practices and AI,” said Henry O’Connell, CEO and Co-Founder of Canary Speech. “Our technology offers a unique way to monitor and manage health challenges that many entrepreneurs face. Working with VBP allows us to reach veterans who can truly benefit from our innovations in healthcare technology.”
