Speech Patterns Could Indicate Alzheimer's Early On

Startup Accexible has developed a product that assesses the linguistic content of someone’s speech and how they’re speaking to identify changes that may indicate an underlying problem, such as early signs of Alzheimer's. The app promises 90% accuracy and results in just a few minutes, making it a useful screening test for general practitioners and a monitoring tool for neurologists. The company is already being used by 10,000 patients and 40 practitioners across five markets, and is running pilots in Spain, Colombia, and the UK.
