Kintsugi

Voice biomarker-based mental health screening

Overview

Kintsugi Health develops voice biomarker technology to help healthcare providers screen for mental health issues. It analyzes short clips of speech to detect signs of depression and anxiety and licenses this technology to risk-bearing health systems to integrate into existing care workflows. The system processes speech through an AI model to generate clinician-facing insights that complement clinical judgment, not replace diagnosis. The company focuses on ethical AI, fairness, explainability, privacy, and regulatory compliance, and aims to make mental healthcare more accessible and equitable at scale.
