## Startup Overview

This diagnostic engine extracts clinical vocal biomarkers directly from raw telehealth audio streams. It processes conversational speech during live patient encounters to identify physiological and neurological indicators of disease. Providers receive real-time, objective health data without requiring patients to read specific prompts or perform dedicated vocal exercises.

Telehealth providers and virtual care platforms rely on subjective observation or isolated, manual voice assessments to gauge patient conditions. These point-in-time evaluations frequently miss subtle or fluctuating acoustic markers of respiratory, cognitive, or mental health decline. Generic sentiment analysis tools fail to capture the precise physiological nuances required for actual medical evaluation.

Unlike legacy vocal assessment tools such as Sonde Health and Canary Speech that require distinct, structured voice samples, this system operates on a continuous-streaming architecture. It evaluates natural conversation passively, delivering clinically-validated insights throughout the entire consultation. This continuous background analysis replaces isolated tests with an unbroken diagnostic baseline.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 90%+ correlation with standard clinical baselines for respiratory and cognitive fatigue.
- Aiming to eliminate manual voice assessment time in clinical trials through continuous background acoustic monitoring.
- Designed to maintain sub-200ms processing latency across 10,000+ concurrent telehealth streams.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Developer Sandbox · Price: ~$0.01–$0.02 per minute · Inclusions: Access to standard wellness biomarker models (stress, fatigue), API keys for testing, up to 10 concurrent streams, and community support.
- Name: Clinical Streaming · Price: ~$0.04–$0.08 per minute · Inclusions: Clinically validated acoustic feature models, HIPAA-compliant ephemeral processing, unlimited concurrent streams, and priority technical support.
- Name: Enterprise Deployment · Price: Custom: ~$40k–$90k/yr commitment · Inclusions: Dedicated VPC or on-premise deployment, custom model tuning for specific trial protocols, dedicated integration engineering, and a 99.99% uptime SLA.
**Guarantee**: If Auronic fails to process audio streams within the agreed sub-200ms latency threshold or drops packets exceeding 0.1% in a billing cycle, we will refund that month's streaming charges.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Patients will worry we are recording their private conversations. Rebuttal: Auronic is designed to process acoustic features in ephemeral memory without ever transcribing or storing the actual spoken words.
- Objection: Background noise in a typical telehealth call will corrupt the biomarker data. Rebuttal: The ingestion pipeline includes an isolation layer explicitly trained to separate the primary patient voice from common household noise.
- Objection: True clinical deployment requires regulatory clearance. Rebuttal: The platform separates general wellness models for immediate use while designing the diagnostic models strictly for investigational use and parallel FDA De Novo pathways.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day sandbox deployment with a telehealth provider to prove sub-200ms latency and successful background noise isolation across 100 concurrent patient streams.
- A 90-day investigational phase pilot alongside a standard clinical trial to validate a 90% correlation between Auronic continuous acoustic biomarkers and manual respiratory assessments.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Sub-200ms processing latency per telehealth audio stream
- Aim: 90%+ correlation between acoustic models and standard clinical baselines for cognitive fatigue
- Target: Less than 0.1% packet drop rate across 10,000 concurrent streaming sessions
- Aim: 100% elimination of transcribed words via the ephemeral memory pipeline
**Target Case Studies**:
- A large clinical trial sponsor (VP Clinical Operations) replacing manual vocal assessments with continuous acoustic background monitoring, achieving high-frequency respiratory data collection without altering patient trial routines.
- A mid-sized telehealth provider (CTO) integrating real-time acoustic stress tracking into virtual care calls, enabling continuous biomarker extraction while guaranteeing conversational privacy through ephemeral memory processing.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Privacy Officer expressing relief that acoustic features are extracted in ephemeral memory, eliminating the risk of stored patient transcripts.
- Clinical Trial Director validating the background noise isolation capability, confirming that primary patient voices are accurately captured despite common household noise.
- Telehealth Product Lead praising the API simplicity and the metered streaming architecture that scales exactly with active concurrent session volume.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Telehealth platforms restrict or revoke API access to raw audio streams due to privacy concerns, severing the core data pipeline. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: The FDA classifies the continuous vocal biomarker analysis as a Software as a Medical Device requiring costly clearance before commercial deployment. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Acoustic interference, hardware microphone variations, and diverse patient accents degrade biomarker accuracy below the threshold required for clinical validity. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Clinicians ignore the continuous biomarker alerts due to alarm fatigue or lack of native integration into existing EHR workflows. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
