01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Aural Analytics was a Scottsdale, Arizona digital-health company founded in 2015 by Daniel Jones, building a clinical-grade speech analytics platform. Its AI engine collected speech samples through smartphone or tablet apps, uploaded them to the cloud, and generated objective, interpretable metrics on neurological health — detecting characteristic speech changes that can appear in the earliest stages of diseases like Alzheimer's. It offered a clinical trial platform, remote speech assessments and APIs for providers, partnered with Medidata, Koneksa Health and Medable, and won NSF grant funding.
