Voxwell.ai
Voice AI for mental health 60-second screening

Detect risk sooner. Using just a voice sample.

Voxwell.ai leverages advanced AI and vocal biomarkers to transform a short, natural speech sample into an objective, privacy-preserving signal for depression and anxiety risk — enabling earlier screening at scale across care pathways and populations.

About Voxwell

Voxwell is building the missing vital sign for mental health. Our platform analyzes subtle, non-linguistic patterns in natural speech to flag elevated risk for depression and anxiety in under a minute. Designed for health systems, digital clinics, and employers, Voxwell enables proactive outreach, smarter triage, and measurable impact on outcomes and cost.

  • Objective, biomarker signal that complements clinical judgment.
  • Privacy-preserving features engineered to minimize PII exposure.
  • API-first: embed in telehealth, care management, or employer apps.

Problem

Millions suffer in silence due to the stigma, cost, and inaccessibility of traditional mental health screening. The current system is reactive, subjective, and fails to reach those in need before a crisis occurs.

1 in 5

adults experience mental illness each year, yet less than half receive treatment.

7-11 Years

is the average delay between symptom onset and intervention.

$1 Trillion

is the estimated annual global economic loss due to depression and anxiety.

Vision

Make early mental health screening as simple and universal as checking a pulse. By unlocking voice as a vital sign, Voxwell helps organizations identify risk earlier, close care gaps, and direct people to the right level of support — at population scale.

Access

Frictionless screening within existing touchpoints — calls, apps, or kiosks.

Equity

Language-agnostic signal reduces bias from literacy and self-reporting.

Impact

Earlier identification enables timely intervention and cost avoidance.

Technology

Built on years of research in speech signal processing and machine learning, Voxwell's technology converts micro-acoustic dynamics (e.g., prosody, phonation and articulatory features) into robust embeddings and risk scores using proprietary models. Our approach emphasizes acoustic features to protect privacy while maintaining signal quality across languages and accents.

  • Objective & Data-Driven: Replaces subjective questionnaires with quantifiable metrics. Model ensemble: classical DSP + deep representation learning. Calibration toolkit for specific populations and microphones.
  • Scalable & Accessible: Deployable on any device with a microphone, enabling population-level screening. Cloud, on-prem, or on-device inference paths.
  • Secure & Compliant: End-to-end encryption and HIPAA-compliant architecture ensure data privacy. Non-linguistic feature focus to minimize PHI exposure.

How it works

  1. 1 User speaks naturally for ~60 seconds into a recording device.
  2. 2 Audio is converted into secure spectral features on-device or server-side.
  3. 3 Voxwell models output a risk score and recommended next step.
  4. 4 Integrations trigger triage, referrals, or supportive content.
Clinical roadmap. IRB-guided studies underway to validate sensitivity/specificity across diverse cohorts.

FAQs

Is Voxwell a diagnostic tool?

No. Voxwell provides an objective screening signal that complements existing tools and clinical judgment. It helps prioritize outreach and route people to appropriate care.

What languages are supported?

Our models focus on non-linguistic features and generalize across languages and accents. We calibrate per population/microphone for best performance.

How is privacy protected?

We minimize exposure to raw content via feature extraction, support on-device inference, and apply encryption, scoped retention, and access controls.

How fast can we go live?

Most pilots start in 4–6 weeks depending on integration depth, data protection agreements, and cohort calibration.
