Laryngologist Yael Bensoussan exemplifies the connection between voice and health through her experience with patients. Noticing symptoms like weak vocal performance can indicate serious conditions, such as pulmonary edema. Bensoussan's intuition, founded in years of training, leads to accurate diagnoses without traditional medical instruments. To expand this capability, researchers are developing AI systems to recognize voice patterns linked to various health issues. This approach could allow non-specialists to diagnose conditions better and even detect more subtle health markers, revolutionizing preemptive medical assessment through voice analysis.
"I said to him, 'You have water in your lungs. You have a cardiorespiratory disease.' And he said, 'How do you know?'"
"Usually when I come in the room, I know what my patient has before putting the scope in," Bensoussan says.
"Scientists are looking for voice biomarkers for a variety of health conditions, including diabetes and coronary artery disease, as well as menopause."
