Beyond Verbal Voice and AI to extract human emotions

Beyond Verbal is using Voice and AI to extract human emotions and reveal Vocal Biomarkers – acoustic features indicating various health conditions. In collaboration with leading medical institutions, Beyond Verbal performs multiple clinical trials and conducts BIG DATA projects aimed at revealing signs of cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological andother diseases and chronic medical conditions in the voice – allowing continuous patient monitoring and predictive analytics.

Beyond Verbal commercializes patented technology from 18 years of research by physicists and neuropsychologists into the mechanisms of human intonations.[3] The company says that its technology enables machines to understand human emotions by analyzing raw voice intonations as people speak. This technology is based on research of over 70,000 subjects in more than 30 different languages, which led to the development of the app that extracts people's moods, attitudes and personality from the intonations of their voice.

Dr. Yoram Levanon and neuro-psychologist Dr. Lan Lossos founded the company. The idea for Beyond Verbal came when Levanon began showing interest in how babies – who do not understand a single word – are able to figure out exactly what their caretakers feel toward them, they then studied over 60,000 test subjects in at least 26 languages, and their success in extracting, decoding, and measuring human moods, attitudes, and personalities gave birth to what they call Emotion Analytics.
