A Solution that Stands Out
Healthymize offers its voice analysis for integration into
remote patient monitoring systems. Its goal is to provide a
voice monitoring solution for home care, chronic care
management, and readmission preventions. Healthymize
prevents hospitalization and saves billions using
personalized, AI- based, patented voice technology that
turns smartphones, tablets, smart watches and home
virtual assistants into continuous health monitoring
devices.
It is developing personalized, AI-based voice analysis that
turns smart devices into remote patient monitoring
devices for voice-affecting diseases. Healthymize
automates labor intensive phone monitoring typically in
place to prevent readmissions and manage chronic
patients, giving clinicians the ability to assess the voice of
the patient at any time.
By utilizing advanced deep learning algorithms to analyze
the human voice during regular calls or voice interaction
with these devices, Healthymize provides remote patient
monitoring for voice-affecting diseases such as asthma,
COPD, heart failure and mental health disorders.
Healthymize aims to detect flare ups early and can be
integrated into systems that remotely monitor patient vital
signs.
Remote Monitoring: The company’s goal is to monitor the
progression of these diseases wherever and whenever
patients speak on their smartphones. Healthymize
analyzes voice samples from the patient aiming to identify
the onset of flare ups. When a flare up is detected, the
Healthymize system can alert the medical teams to enable
early treatment of patients at home, by keeping them
where they feel most comfortable.

patient suffers from flare-ups that are characterized by
shortness of breath, coughs, and sputum production.
Delayed diagnosis and treatment of these flare-ups often
results in severe exacerbations requiring hospitalization.
