Strategy& Insider Episode 46 - Detecting disease in seconds of speech
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.
