Lara Gervaise and Edoardo Giudice are the co-founders of Virtuosis AI, a start-up pioneering voice biomarker technology. In this episode, they reveal how just 30 seconds of speech can be analyzed to screen for up to 25 health conditions – from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's to depression, anxiety, and cardiometabolic disorders. They share how a chance meeting before generative AI even existed sparked a conviction that voice and AI could transform preventive care at scale. The conversation covers their path from wellness tool to CE-certified medical device, the ethical safeguards behind their workplace integration, what it takes to build health AI in Europe's regulatory environment, and their ultimate vision: a future where monitoring your voice is as routine as tracking your steps, seamlessly embedded into everyday life.

About this podcast

The Strategy& Insider podcast aims to explore some of the most critical future trends and their impacts. Strategy& talks to industry experts and leading practitioners from different sectors. The conversations will make you more familiar with key developments by providing you with insights that really matter.

The first season will tackle some of the most fundamental questions in the healthcare industry. While technology has quickly transformed how we shop, bank, and travel, it yet has to impact on how we receive healthcare. The adoption of digitally enabled tools for diagnostics, treatment, and management, for example, has been rather modest - especially compared to what is already possible.

Together with experts across all sectors including pharma executives, leading academics and practitioners at hospitals we will discuss how the healthcare industry is expected to change.
