Voice EHR: introducing multimodal audio data for health by James Anibal, James Anibal, Hannah Huth, Ming Li, Lindsey Hazen, Veronica Daoud, Dominique Ebedes, Yen Minh Lam, Hang Nguyen, Phuc Vo Hong, Michael Kleinman, Shelley Ost, Christopher Jackson, Laura Sprabery, Cheran Elangovan, Balaji Krishnaiah, Lee Akst, Lee Akst, Ioan Lina, Iqbal Elyazar, Lenny Ekawati, Stefan Jansen, Richard Nduwayezu, Charisse Garcia, Jeffrey Plum, Jacqueline Brenner, Miranda Song, Emily Ricotta, Emily Ricotta, David Clifton, C. Louise Thwaites, Yael Bensoussan, Bradford Wood

“…Large language models (LLMs) were used to compare transcribed Voice EHR data with data (from the same patients) collected through conventional techniques like multiple choice questions. Information contained in the Voice EHR samples was consistently rated as equally or more relevant to a health evaluation.DiscussionThe HEAR application facilitates the collection of an audio electronic health record (“Voice EHR”) that may contain complex biomarkers of health from conventional voice/respiratory features, speech patterns, and spoken language with semantic meaning and longitudinal context–potentially compensating for the typical limitations of unimodal clinical datasets.…”
