Sharecare has developed a voice recognition application that doesn’t analyze what someone is saying, but its algorithm looks at how it’s said with the hope to provide insight on monitoring stress. It does this by analyzing neurological patterns that are correlated with fractal patterns in our voice.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?

Stress plays a major role in many people’s health and well-being, which is Sharecare’s primary goal in using the technology to make an impact, but it can also provide some insight in how trustworthy, say… a presidential candidate appears during a debate.
Last week we featured a Q&A with Sharecare’s Chief Innovation Officer, Erik Feingold, who not only shared more about the technology’s nuances – he touched on how the company had used the application to monitor the stress levels of the Republican presidential candidates in the debate last week.
Now, some of the Democratic debate readings are in.
A few of Hillary Clinton’s and one of Bernie Sanders’ reading results, based on the app, show how stress levels correlated with what was said concerning particular subjects. As Feingold pointed out in our interview, stress is not always a bad thing – it can indicate passion in certain cases. The application aims to differentiate those emotions.
