Medical technology company SoundHealth has launched SONUCheck, a vocal analysis feature in the SONU app that uses AI to measure nasal breathing and patency.

The voice-enabled biomarker employs a machine learning approach to quantify real-time nasal breathing, providing a personalised score through the free and user-friendly app.

This feature will be available in the SONU app on 19 November. 

Mouth breathing is linked to cardiovascular issues such as hypertension and sleep apnoea. It impacts the respiratory system by allowing unfiltered, poorly humidified air into the lungs, leading to infections and inflammation.  

SoundHealth founder and CEO Dr Paramesh Gopi said: “SoundHealth’s unique AI-enabled scoring algorithm, validated by clinical data, continually improves with new voice samples, providing an innovative, accessible way to monitor nasal breathing.  

“Paired with the FDA-approved SONU band, which relieves congestion, it’s the only app-based tool outside clinical settings for assessing nasality in real time.”

The SONU app offers performers and speech-language therapists a tool to easily evaluate nasal breathing.

Leveraging AI and machine learning, the app analyses and reports a nasal breathing score based on spectral properties and speech metrics of recorded voice samples.

SONUCheck provides real-time personalised feedback that physicians can monitor as part of a remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) programme and boosts patient engagement.

By tracking congestion symptoms with biomarkers and AI-enabled algorithms, the app supports a proactive approach to respiratory health, improving health outcomes.
