Multi-language Support for the Winterlight Assessment App
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-04
Summary
Winterlight Labs (WLL) developed software for detecting and monitoring symptoms of language impairment
associated with aphasia, dementia, and other cognitive and mental health conditions using speech analysis
algorithms, based on multi-year academic research. The current status of research and technology is limited by
using the corpora of English speech only. As such, the goal of the project is to extend the capabilities of WLL
developed software by adding multi-language support to various stages of the existing process. Given the number of
clinical trial sites in different countries across the world, the following languages were identified as top-priorities from
the business perspective: 1) Spanish, 2) French, 3) German.

Description
Winterlight Labs (WLL) developed software for detecting and monitoring symptoms of language impairment
associated with aphasia, dementia, and other cognitive and mental health conditions using speech analysis
algorithms, based on multi-year academic research. The current status of research and technology is limited by
using the corpora of English speech only. As such, the goal of the project is to extend the capabilities of WLL

Description (French)
Winterlight Labs (WLL) a conçu un logiciel permettant de détecter et de surveiller les symptômes de troubles du langage associés à l'aphasie, à la démence et à d'autres troubles cognitifs et mentaux à l'aide d'algorithmes d'analyse de la parole, sur la base d'une recherche universitaire de plusieurs années. L'état actuel de la recherche et de la technologie est limité par l'utilisation des seuls corpus de la parole anglaise. L'objectif du projet est donc d'étendre les capacités du logiciel conçu par WLL en ajoutant un support multilingue aux différentes étapes du processus existant. Compte tenu du nombre de sites d'essais cliniques dans différents pays du monde, les langues suivantes ont été retenues comme prioritaires du point de vue commercial : 1) l'espagnol, 2) le français et 3) l'allemand.
