Case Study: Wyoming Health Innovation Living Lab improves cognitive decline screening with Canary Speech

Wyoming Health Innovation Living Lab - Customer Case Study

The Wyoming Health Innovation Living Lab (WHILL) faced the challenge of identifying mild cognitive impairment, which is hindered by subjective measures and a lack of specific biomarkers. This complexity obstructs early detection and treatment. To address this, WHILL partnered with Canary Speech and its patented vocal biomarker technology.

Canary Speech's solution used AI to analyze conversational speech for objective cognitive screening. The implementation provided significant results: outside clinical settings, 59% of participants received actionable follow-up care recommendations. Within a clinic, the technology identified 56% of patients with concerns as having cognitive impairment. Furthermore, it created new billable revenue opportunities for providers. Canary Speech's technology successfully provided an efficient, objective screening tool that increased awareness and improved patient care pathways.
