Vocal Biomarkers Market Trends

• Technological advancement is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for vocal biomarkers is driven by the rising integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Combining speech-based biomarkers with Al and Machine Learning has the possibility to identify a combination of medical disorders, but the technology must grow before it is widely utilized in clinical settings. As top academic institutes, such as Université de Montréal, seek to launch speech as a biomarker for clinical care, artificial intelligence can soon allow doctors to detect and treat ailments, including cancer and depression, based on a patient's voice. The assignment is being led by Olivier Elemento of Weil Cornell Medicine in New York City and Dr. Yael Bensoussan of the University of South Florida, along with six other organizations in the U.S. and four in Canada, with budget from the U.S. National Institutes of Health totaling USD 14 million over 4 years.

Growing research on speech biomarkers is another factor driving market revenue growth. For instance, initial determinations from a joint research and development action on digital health with Genentech, a component of the Roche Group, were delivered by Winterlight Labs Inc., a speech analytics and digital biomarker business. The project explores novel speech-based digital biomarkers to assess cognitive changes utilizing speech recordings from the Tauriel investigation, a Phase 2 trial of the research anti-tau antibody semorinemab in prodromal-to-mild Alzheimer's disease. The primary conclusions were presented at the 2021 Alzheimer's Association International Conference's Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology Virtual Oral Session.

Growing prevalence of neurological, psychological, and other speech-related diseases, such as attention deficit, cardiovascular diseases, depression, and Parkinson's disease. As per the new United Nations report released, around 1 billion individuals, or nearly one in six of the globe's population, suffer from neurological disorders, including brain injuries, migraine, and neuro infections, as well as conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and epilepsy. Each year, 6.8 million people die as a result of these conditions. As proofed by the inclusion of mental fitness in the Sustainable Development Goals, there has been increasing recognition of mental health's crucial role in reaching  development goals driving the vocal biomarkers market revenue.

Vocal Biomarkers Market Segment Insights

Vocal Biomarkers Type Insights

The vocal biomarkers market segmentation, based on type, includes frequency, amplitude, error rate, vocal rise or fall time, phonation time, voice tremor, pitch, and others. The frequency segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (0.20 Billion). In developing countries, category growth is driven by its necessity to confirm that each feature, a feature or metric taken from a speech sample, precisely measures the associated features of speech for speech-based biomarkers. However, amplitude is the fastest-growing category, as a Mayo Clinic research team has linked numerous voice characteristics to a history of coronary artery disease.

Vocal Biomarkers End-User Insights

The vocal biomarkers market segmentation, based on end-user, includes hospitals & clinics, academic & research, and others. The hospitals & clinics category generated the most income due to rising hospital patient admission, given the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases like cardiac arrest, which has been pronouncing the demand for vocal biomarkers to detect the ailment. However, academic & research is the fastest-growing category due to rising vocal biomarkers demand from these academic & research centers.
