A 60-second test detects cognitive impairment with a sensitivity of 91%
On the occasion of World Alzheimer’s Day, on September 21st , the startup accexible has launched the campaign “Check your mental health!” for the detection of cognitive impairment through speech analysis.
The company offers a free test that can be performed in just 60 seconds, accessing the website of testaccexible.com from a device with a microphone. This test analyzes the voice of the user and sends back a result in a couple of minutes, with a 91% sensitivity in detecting cognitive impairment in early stages. If desired, the visitor can take 3 extra tests and will receive a report with the results of the tests via email.
Accexible has developed artificial intelligence-based models that analyzes both, how is a person talking and what is he/she saying. In this sense, IBM and Pfizer have developed a study that concludes that speech analysis can predict Alzheimer’s 5 years earlier.
On average, it takes a person 20 months to go to the professional after having a memory complaint. With its platform, accexible wants to help break the mental health disorder taboo. In the same way that we do an annual medical check-up (body), we should take care of our mental health.
According to the Maragall Foundation, 1 in every 3 cases of Alzheimer’s could be prevented by adopting healthy lifestyle habits. Additionally, two-thirds of people with cognitive impairment are undiagnosed. In Europe, only 20% of people diagnosed with dementia are diagnosed in early stages. Early detection is essential to receive adequate treatment.
