Vocal Biomarker: Technology for Analyzing Emotions is here!


Technology is measured to be the driving force behind progresses in healthcare. Well, I think there is no area has remained where technology has not been used. We have seen many positive changes in health IT and expect to continue witnessing more exciting developments in the future! Now, with a prime focus on a hot topic in the healthcare i.e. vocal biomarker, I am astounded to share its interesting facts. So, here I am going to make you aware of the vocal biomarker, which might have a massive impact on setting up a diagnostic tool.


Introduction
Researchers across the globe are developing programs which could analyze the given mood of an individual based on the given variability in the voice. Sounds Interesting? Yes, actually it is! Let’s imagine that I am saying you to say some words, and I will tell you whether you are depressed or not. It doesn’t look possible, right? But, researchers have discovered the technology named “vocal biomarkers”, which helps to detect, record and analyze the disease with the help of your voice. Various aspects of a person’s voice can help analyze the mental and physical well-being of the person. This tool has tremendous potential to shift diagnostic-procedures in terms of speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness.

Some of the major facts associated with Vocal Biomarkers include-

•        First of all, you all might not believe it, but yes, this revolutionary and potentially disruptive technology is extremely simple and has a very diverse application. Many latest research studies have greatly extended its application in the diagnosis of various diseases ranging from stress to cardiovascular diseases. With the technological advancements, they will soon be capable to analyze diseases including cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and heart conditions.

•        One of them might be the use of AI algorithms for analyzing billions of voice samples and suggesting a possible diagnosis method. Once analyzed, researchers or physicians are able to better recount the sample to life events by using existing artificial intelligence tools seared into the platform, or its team of data scientists.
•        Several research institutes, government organizations, universities in unity are working towards harnessing the true potential of this technology and introducing further refinements to increase its accuracy.
•        There is also a major concern among scientists about the security. They say that “we also need not forget the ethical issues concerning the voice recordings”. Consequently, regulators need to keep up with the growth of vocal biomarkers in healthcare and consider privacy issues.

Glass-Free HD 3D Display Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking – Global Review 2017 to 2022

Glass-free HD 3D display  uses autostereoscopy display technology showing three-dimensional images without the need for eyewear or 3D glasses. Multiple views and eye tracking are the two approaches being used to accommodate the motion. This eliminates the need for the display to sense viewer’s eyes. Manufacturers are using various technologies such as parallax barrier, light field display, lenticular display technology, etc., to offer better image quality with high resolution. The automultiscopic display is offered in slightly offset way which looks different when seen from different angles, thus creating a 3D effect that can be viewed without 3D glasses. Adding some more depth to the traditional 2D displays, manufacturers are focusing on offering a better viewing experience with glass-free HD 3D display. Most of these manufacturers are using parallax barriers and lenticular display technologies to offer glasses-free 3D display. While the companies are offering automultiscopic ...
