"Canary Speech's technology delivers unprecedented diagnostics by taking us below the surface of speech to the central nervous system," said Joel E. Barthelemy, Chairman, CEO of GlobalMed. "Technological innovation is at the heart of GlobalMed solutions so we knew this was a breakthrough service we wanted to offer. By unlocking a new vital sign, Canary Speech can replace subjective assessments with actionable data." Barthelemy added, "If we can monitor mental health through a patient's voice, we can accelerate interventions and improve patient outcomes – and I can't think of anything more important for underserved communities that struggle with behavioral health gaps."
Canary Speech is embedded within GlobalMed's eNcounter® platform as part of the company's connected care solutions portfolio and features Canary Ambient™, which offers:
- Proactive screening that enables providers to identify behavioral health changes and neurodegenerative signals in real time.
- Objective decision support for standard clinical assessments like GAD7 and PHQ8 with AI-driven signatures.
- An API-first platform that integrates easily into existing healthcare infrastructures without disrupting clinical visits.
- A robust cloud infrastructure, with best-in-class data security and HIPAA compliance.
"Voice carries an incredible amount of information about a person's health, but it hasn't traditionally been used as part of routine care," said Henry O'Connell, co-founder and CEO of Canary Speech. "Partnering with GlobalMed allows us to bring Canary's vocal biomarker technology directly into clinical workflows and give providers a new kind of vital sign—one that can help detect behavioral and neurological changes earlier and support better patient outcomes."
