The ripples from our long-term collaboration with Hospital Clinic Barcelona have turned into tidal waves of impact!

🔬 Our joint study, led by Anna Lucia Paltrinieri and Dr. Oscar Garcia-Algar, is making headlines across all major Spanish press—journals, radio, and TV. The recent press conference at Hospital Clinic on December 19, 2023, was a game-changer, propelling our research into the spotlight.

📰 The media frenzy surrounding our study has been phenomenal, showcasing the dedication and impact of our collaboration. We’re grateful for the incredible visibility the press conference provided, raising awareness not only for our study but also for the broader conversation on neonatal care and development.

Keep tuned for more updates on our media coverage. Meanwhile, here’s a sneak peek into one of the outlets that have featured our groundbreaking research.

Check out our recent scientific article published in the prestigious journal, Computers in Biology and Medicine, resulting from collaborative clinical trials with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.

Here are the key highlights:

1️⃣ Multimodal analysis integrating acoustic, behavior, and neurophysiology – We’ve pioneered a groundbreaking approach by simultaneously analyzing cry, body movement, facial expressions, EEG brain activity, cerebral and body oxygenation. This multimodal method opens new doors for comprehensive research in cry interpretation never accomplished until now.

2️⃣ Machine Learning features importance – Acoustics and body language stand out as the most crucial Machine Learning features supporting our investigation into the causes of crying. This knowledge has far-reaching implications, especially for remote infant monitoring, such as the development of advanced baby monitors.

3️⃣ Artificial Intelligence for Cry Analysis – The AMSI audio Deep Learning algorithm, deployed for cry characterization, achieves an accuracy rate of 92% reliably supporting caregivers to better understand their infant’s cries.

4️⃣ Cry as a vocal biomarker assessing infant’s well-being – Our findings indicate that infant cry analysis can be a promising, non-invasive tool for enhancing the infant-parent relationship and contributing to newborn development.

Zoundream is on a mission to make parenting more informed and less stressful. Today we are proud to stand at the forefront of innovation. From analyzing baby’s cries to early detection of neurodevelopmental conditions and pathologies. We can’t wait to see the positive impact our technology will have on families worldwide.

Here’s Zoundream press release.

Today, Zoundream is happy to share our first scientific article published in Frontiers in Neuroscience.

Link here – Paper 1: How can cry acoustics associate newborns’ distress levels with neurophysiological and behavioral signals?How Can Cry Acoustics Associate Newborns’ Distress Levels with Neurophysiological and Behavioral Signals?

The study entitled “How can cry acoustics associate newborns’ distress levels with neurophysiological and behavioral signals?” was carried out in collaboration with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.

In this pioneering research we used for the first time cry audio analysis as a potential clinical biomarker of newborns’ distress state, cross-validated with behavioral and brain signals being a valuable tool in the future neonatology.

Follow us in our scientific journey towards the study of cries as vocal biomarkers supporting the assessment of the well-being and health status of the infant.
