Researchers from Mayo Clinic have used artificial intelligence to discover and test what a voice can reveal about a patient’s heart health . Training an AI with specific vocal biomarkers predicts which patients are more likely to have clogged arteries that lead to further heart problems.
Voice biomarkers could detect coronary artery disease before symptoms appear by monitoring changes in a person’s voice over time using artificial intelligence (AI) technology developed by a team at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Jacksonville. The team was able to predict coronary artery disease outcomes in patients given an initial voice screening. Afterward, they were followed for several years and compared to patients with a low vocal biomarker score at baseline. Patients with high vocal biomarker scores had higher odds of having severe chest pain or coronary issues that sent them to the hospital or the emergency department as well as positive stress tests or confirmed coronary artery blockage during follow-up testing. Although still in the research stages the team says AI voice analysis technology could be a low-cost non-invasive digital health tool to monitor a patient’s risk of coronary artery blockage over time from just about anywhere as previous research has shown that AI can help detect overlooked heart problems such as heart attacks in people who had no prior symptoms.

Embracing the advancements of technology and AI can enhance our humanity. We can focus on developing our unique talents and skills by automating mundane tasks and freeing up our time. As humans, we can adapt and learn, allowing us to evolve and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world constantly.
Organizations will need to be more fluid, dynamic, and adaptable: the ability to change and adjust in response to new situations and environments. We are on the cusp of a new era of organizations, ones that are more fluid and agile and which behave like swarms we see in nature.
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.Â
