OUR MISSION

You can help us solve the world’s biggest problem

COVID-19 is spreading too fast to control and the global demand for testing continues to increase. Current screening solutions are slow, expensive and in short supply.

THE SOLUTION

Your voice is the answer

Our research team has developed a way to identify the biomarkers for COVID-19 in your voice. By analyzing the unique frequencies found in a 30 second voice recording, we’re able to successfully screen for COVID-19.
