The Intersect with Cory Corrine

Does your voice hold the secret to aging well?

Listen Later

In this episode of The Intersect, I sit down with Joanna Peña-Bickley, co-founder and CEO of Vibes AI. We explore where technology meets our most human needs and concerns, and discuss how AI can support brain health to help us age with dignity.

As wearable technology continues to advance, how can we better understand and care for our brains? Joanna and her team want to empower us with tools to understand and care for our brains. In our conversation, we delve into how Vibes AI is using voice analysis to detect early signs of cognitive decline, the connection between our hearing and our cognitive functioning, and an innovative vision for how AI and wearable tech might help us extend not just our lifespan, but our “joy span.”

Topics Covered:

  • Why brain health is a critical and often overlooked pillar of wellness
  • How Vibes AI is working to identify early signs of cognitive decline by analyzing biomarkers in our voice.
  • How hearing loss is connected to cognitive health, and how improving our hearing can lead to positive outcomes for our brains.  
  • Ways that having a healthy brain can increase not just our “joyspan,” but also our healthspan.  
  • How our voices have a unique frequency and when we’re “on the same wavelength” as others, it can lead to deeper connections.
