DementiAnalytics

Voice-based cognitive health screening and monitoring

You can hear cognitive change before you can see it.

DementiAnalytics turns a few minutes of guided conversation into objective cognitive screening and monitoring insights, helping senior living teams supplement existing assessments and track change over time.

Earlier

Catch subtle changes that standard workflows may miss.

Lighter

A few minutes, supported by the staff and partners you already have.

Defensible

A repeatable record to support care conversations with families and surveyors.

How it works

A few minutes of conversation, turned into something you can act on.

01

A brief guided voice check-in

A staff member or trained partner follows a short, structured prompt. The resident simply talks for about a minute, with minimal setup and no complex equipment.

02

We analyze speech patterns, not just answers

Our models look at timing, fluency, rhythm, and language patterns that may reflect changes in cognition, mood, or communication.

03

A clearer view, tracked over time

Your team receives summaries that help identify patterns and monitor change over time. Each includes a suggested next step, from continuing routine check-ins to prompting a closer conversation, so results always lead somewhere.

Case study

One resident changed the conversation.

A brief voice assessment uncovered speech patterns that conventional cognitive screens alone would not surface.

What the screen showed

29/30

A near-perfect SLUMS score on the most recent cognitive screen.

What the voice revealed

The most distinctive speech pattern in the cohort, alongside four recent falls.

Twelve participating residents at a Pennsylvania senior living community. Baseline complete; the same assessment is re-administered at six months to measure stability or change. Screening and monitoring support, not a diagnostic device.

For the people in your community, noticed sooner.

Grounded in research

The earliest signs of cognitive change live in how we speak. We make them measurable.

Built on peer-reviewed research in speech and cognition, developed through active IRB studies in senior living.

Selected publications


Every screening adds to a longitudinal, validated speech dataset. The signal compounds with each conversation.
