Telehealth Respiratory Monitoring

Telling.ai analyzes voice and breath sounds to assess lung health

Voice and breath sounds are powerful biometrics

Breathing icon

Speech is a complex process involving the lungs, upper airways, nerves, and muscles.

Sound wave icon

Signatures found in breath and speech, are indicators of many medical conditions, including respiratory diseases and infections.

Predict and prevent acute exacerbations

By monitoring the 47 million at-risk Americans, we aim to enable timely interventions that prevent costly hospitalizations.

COPD alone accounts for 1.5 million Emergency Department visits per year and 800,000 hospitalizations. Nearly 20% of AECOPD patients are readmitted within 30 days.

We hear you in ways
no one else can

A unique framework to capture respiratory sounds in real world settings, providing real-time feedback and denoising to optimize data quality.

We extract dozens of features - many undetectable by the human ear - to power our best-in-class algorithms.
