AI Detects Diabetes Through Voice Analysis In 10 Seconds

Artificial intelligence has demonstrated the ability to detect type 2 diabetes through voice analysis, according to a recent study conducted by Klick Labs and published in “Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health.” The research, which analyzed vocal recordings, revealed an 89% accuracy rate for diagnosing women and an 86% accuracy rate for diagnosing men with type 2 diabetes.

The study’s lead author, Jaycee Kaufman, emphasized that their findings showcase significant vocal variations between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize how diabetes is screened in the medical community, as it could eliminate the need for time-consuming and costly traditional detection methods.

In this study, 267 participants, both with and without type 2 diabetes, recorded phrases using their smartphones six times a day over a two-week period. More than 18,000 recordings were analyzed, focusing on 14 distinct acoustic features that differed between diabetics and non-diabetics. Participants also provided basic health information such as age, height, and weight.

Remarkably, signal processing technologies were able to detect subtle vocal pitch variations that the human ear cannot discern. These imperceptible acoustic cues provided the necessary information for accurate diabetes detection.

Yan Fossat, Klick’s VP and principal investigator, highlighted the potential of voice technology as an accessible and cost-effective tool for healthcare screening. He suggested that this technology could revolutionize healthcare practices and make early disease detection more widely available.

The next step for Klick Labs is to replicate the study and expand voice analysis to identify pre-diabetes, hypertension, and potentially other health conditions.

In a related development, MIT recently achieved a breakthrough with a bio-implant that can better conform to the human body, facilitating the delivery of medications like insulin. These advancements in both voice technology and medical devices offer promising prospects for the future of healthcare.
