AI may soon use our voice to diagnose illness

We humans are social animals, and we communicate a lot with our voices - much more than just in the words we speak. So if our voices can communicate emotion, can they also communicate health markers? Well, apparently so. Increasingly, AI research is looking at using AI voice analysis to diagnose everything from common colds to cancer, as well as mental health markers.

It could be a huge opportunity in the healthcare space, but also in professional settings as a tool in the belt of HR and talent managers.

This week, we're joined by Yaël Bensoussan, MD, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Morsani College of Medicine, to find out more.
