  • Mayo Experts Say The Voice Could Offer Measurable Signals Of Heart Health

    Diagnostics World News | Scientists at the Mayo Clinic are applying artificial intelligence (AI) to pick up auditory signals of heart health undetectable by the human ear, notably subtle acoustic changes that might not be intuitive or formally taught in medical school or during residency and fellowship training. Their vocal biomarker is based on the supposition that cardiovascular disease is likely expressed throughout the body at large, including the phonatory system.
