Description
🖼️ Tool Name:
Kintsugi
🔖 Tool Category:
AI-powered mental health monitoring / voice biomarker tool; falls under Health & Care, Mental Health, and AI in medical diagnostics.
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Uses voice biomarkers extracted from people’s speech (e.g. tone, pitch, pauses) to detect signs consistent with moderate-to-severe depression or anxiety.
Deploys as an API / platform that integrates into telehealth, remote patient monitoring, call centers, etc., to “listen between the lines” and flag when mental health interventions may be needed.
Provides real-time scoring (or near real-time) based on speech clips, without requiring specific questionnaires.
Clinical validation: has been studied in a large sample (14,898 adults, ~25 seconds of speech) compared vs. self-report PHQ-9 questionnaire, showing decent sensitivity & specificity.
⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Early, passive detection of depression & anxiety signs, even when people say “I’m okay.”
• Helps clinicians or care providers catch cases that might be missed by self-report / standard screenings.
• Improves speed (you don’t need to administer lengthy questionnaires) and reduces burden on patients & providers.
🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — several automated parts:
Automatic analysis of voice recordings / speech clips for biomarkers.
Real-time or continuous monitoring / scoring in settings like calls / telehealth.
Passive capture (just speech, no need for explicit questionnaires) and automatic flagging for further screening or intervention when thresholds are met.
💰 Pricing Model:
Not fully public / many enterprise / in-demo stages. Likely subscription / licensing for clinics / payors.
🆓 Free Plan Details:
There is no strong evidence of a free tier for general clinicians; most use cases seem enterprise / partner / research based. Would require contacting for demo or pilot.
💳 Paid Plan Details:
Designed for health systems, payors, telehealth / remote monitoring platforms.
Includes API integration, real-time scoring, dashboards, probably support, compliance / regulatory assurances.
🧭 Access Method:
• Via API / platform integrations (telehealth, remote patient monitoring, etc.)
• Tools also include a patient app (voice journaling, etc.) to get insights / track emotional progress.
