New start-up team at Psyrin are disrupting psychosis care with speech and AI
A London-based startup looking to transform psychosis care through the power of speech has been developing machine learning algorithms that will detect impending psychosis from speech samples collected using just a smartphone. With Psyrin, practitioners along the psychosis care pathway will save time, improve triage accuracy, and increase capacity.
Julianna, one of the co-founders of Psyrin has been inspired by the suffering of her loved ones to work on solving mental health problems. By studying psychology, she realized the importance of prevention in mental health care.
“In case of severe mental disorders, especially in psychosis, the effect of prevention and early intervention can be really difference-making in the patient’s life. However, preventative treatments need tools and technology to upscale and be accessible for as many people as possible.”
At Psyrin, they want to unlock the potential of objective, scalable, AI-powered analysis of speech to help clinicians screen, triage and monitor and understand patients better, in a more effective way and eventually, use their technology to transform psychosis care pathways from reactive to preventative.
