Published purpose

Winterlight Labs (WLL) developed software for detecting and monitoring symptoms of language impairment associated with aphasia, dementia, and other cognitive and mental health conditions using speech analysis algorithms, based on multi-year academic research. The current status of research and technology is limited by using the corpora of English speech only. As such, the goal of the project is to extend the capabilities of WLL developed software by adding multi-language support to various stages of the existing process. Given the number of clinical trial sites in different countries across the world, the following languages were identified as top-priorities from the business perspective: 1) Spanish, 2) French, 3) German.
