Uses of Voice Technology in Advancing Healthcare

• They have been working with Orbiter to develop a voice technology where a person can just say short sentences into a phone for that voice to be analyzed for congestive heart failure, COPD and other diseases.
• They work on solving bilingual education problems. Being able to deliver language to people who are illiterate is very important to Dr. Landon.
