Telling.ai (Accelerator)

Company Description: Our lungs are the largest organ in our body and are constantly under attack. Over 500MM people globally suffer from a chronic lung disease and with COVID, pollution, smoke and heat many billions more are at risk because they lack the ability to easily monitor and detect the changes in their lung status outside of the clinic. It is vital for all of us to know how healthy our lungs are. Telling.ai answers the question by giving you a detailed lung health report by transforming the world’s smartphones into powerful respiratory monitoring devices that detect the changes in lung function to give patients the information needed to stay healthy and avoid hospitalization by listening to their speech. How does it work? Just speak and we measure the gold standard lung function metrics Telling.ai has developed a unique AI/ML audio processing infrastructure to develop vocal biomarkers. Our solution is available to any person in the world by just speaking into a smartphone, requiring no specialized hardware or sensors, to measure (1) FEV1 and FVC, the gold standard for understanding lung health and (2) Respiratory symptoms. Through our app, we replace the 2 methods to evaluate lung function that have been the same for over a 100 years and require clinical interaction.
