40-SECOND VOICE SCREENING

Every 3 seconds, someone develops dementia.

26 million Indians. Zero screening tools built for them. Until now.

187 biomarkers from voice, eyes, cognition and brain activity. Twelve minutes on any smartphone. No hardware. No English required.

THE CRISIS

Drugs exist. Blood tests exist. Nobody finds patients early enough.

Current screening requires a clinician, English literacy, and a hospital visit. Hundreds of millions have access to none of these.

HOW IT WORKS

Ten signal streams. One twelve-minute session.

Each stream measures a different part of the brain. Read together, they separate normal ageing from impairment from dementia.

Voice

Jitter, shimmer, prosody and articulation from natural speech in any language.

187

biomarkers

per session

Any smartphone

No hardware to buy. Camera, mic and touchscreen carry eight of ten streams.

Any language

Tasks use pictures, colours and numerals. Zero literacy required.

Twelve minutes

Fits inside an existing OPD visit. No extra staff time.

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

Built on published science. Not claims.

Every signal traces to peer-reviewed work. The accuracies below are literature ceilings for multimodal fusion, validated against our SGPGI cohort.

Mild Cognitive Impairment

0.93

Cognition, Eye, EEG, Voice

Alzheimer's Disease

AUC values are literature ceilings for multimodal fusion. Zero Dementia is a screening tool and does not diagnose.
