Purchase Expands Linus Health’s Cognitive Assessment Capabilities

购买扩展了Linus Health的认知评估能力

Linus Health, a digital health company enabling early detection of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, today announced it has acquired Aural Analytics, a leader in clinical-grade speech analytics. The deal includes Aural Analytics’ assets, including its technology and intellectual property.

Linus Health是一家能够早期发现阿尔茨海默氏病和其他痴呆症的数字健康公司，今天宣布收购了临床级语音分析领域的领导者Aural Analytics。这笔交易包括Aural Analytics的资产，包括其技术和知识产权。

With the acquisition of Aural Analytics, Linus Health, the leader in multimodal cognitive assessments, has added clinical-grade speech analytics to its platform. This allows Linus Health to further enable researchers and clinicians to identify cognitive impairment and better understand the characteristics of those impairments..

随着Aural Analytics的收购，多模态认知评估的领导者Linus Health将临床级语音分析添加到其平台中。这使Linus Health能够进一步使研究人员和临床医生能够识别认知障碍，并更好地了解这些障碍的特征。。

“Our voices reveal essential aspects of our mental state and brain function. Technology can extract such metrics with exquisite precision. Aural Analytics has worked in the development and processing of voice metrics, and integrating them with other signals captured by the Linus Health platform will substantially expand our unique brain health assessment capabilities,” said Alvaro Pascual-Leone, MD, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Linus Health..

“我们的声音揭示了我们精神状态和大脑功能的重要方面。技术可以精确地提取这些指标。听觉分析在语音指标的开发和处理方面发挥了作用，并将其与Linus Health平台捕获的其他信号相结合，将大大扩展我们独特的大脑健康评估能力，”Linus Health联合创始人兼首席医疗官Alvaro Pascual Leone博士说道。。

The acquisition expands Linus Health’s operations into the life sciences industry. Aural Analytics’ speech analytics software, called Speech Vitals, is used by leading healthcare systems and life science organizations in pharmaceutical research and clinical trials. It collects samples of speech from patients via app-based tests and evaluates them to assess cognitive conditions.

此次收购将莱纳斯健康公司的业务扩展到生命科学行业。Aural Analytics的语音分析软件，称为speech Vitals，被领先的医疗保健系统和生命科学组织用于药物研究和临床试验。它通过基于应用程序的测试收集患者的语音样本，并对其进行评估以评估认知状况。

Speech Vitals’ patented technology has been used to detect multiple neurological conditions, such as dementia, autism, and ALS..

Speech Vitals的专利技术已被用于检测多种神经系统疾病，如痴呆症、自闭症和肌萎缩侧索硬化症。。

It complements Linus Health’s focus on the early detection of Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive impairment and dementia by equipping healthcare providers with digital cognitive assessment tools, such as the award-winning Digital Clock and Recall (DCR). Linus Health had previously tested some aspects of Aural Analytics’ voice analysis in its multimodal algorithms and the combination has outperformed standard paper-and-pencil tests.

它通过为医疗保健提供者提供数字认知评估工具（如屡获殊荣的数字时钟和回忆（DCR））来补充莱纳斯健康（Linus Health）对早期发现阿尔茨海默氏病和其他形式的认知障碍和痴呆症的关注。Linus Health之前曾在其多模态算法中测试过Aural Analytics语音分析的某些方面，并且该组合的性能优于标准的纸笔测试。

The acquisition allows Linus Health to fully integrate Aural Analytics’ technology for even more accurate performance and develop additional tools for use by clinicians..

此次收购使Linus Health能够充分整合Aural Analytics的技术，以获得更准确的性能，并开发其他工具供临床医生使用。。

Since its launch in 2015, Arizona-based Aural Analytics has earned a number of distinctions, including:

自2015年推出以来，基于亚利桑那州的Aural Analytics取得了许多优异成绩，包括：

Speech Vitals – ALS technology designated by FDA as a Breakthrough Device

Speech Vitals–ALS技术被FDA指定为突破性设备

Participation in EverythingALS early detection study and more than 30 other clinical studies

参与所有早期发现研究和其他30多项临床研究

FDA registration of Speech Vitals as a computerized cognitive assessment aid

FDA注册语音生命体征作为计算机化认知评估辅助工具

The acquisition of Aural Analytics is the latest strategic move in Linus Health’s construction of the most comprehensive cognitive and brain health assessment platform. Since 2020 it has acquired Kinesis Health Technologies, a leader in physical function assessment for older adults, and Digital Cognition Technologies, a leader in digital cognitive assessment..

收购Aural Analytics是Linus Health构建最全面的认知和大脑健康评估平台的最新战略举措。自2020年以来，它收购了Kinesis Health Technologies（老年人身体功能评估的领导者）和数字认知技术（数字认知评估的领导者）。。

Aural Analytics and Linus Health have participated jointly in clinical trials, including Bio-Hermes. The experience revealed the promise of combining their respective offerings into a powerful multimodal solution. Speech analysis yields valuable insights into brain function both at a moment in time, and especially over time.

Aural Analytics和Linus Health共同参与了临床试验，包括Bio-Hermes。经验表明，他们有望将各自的产品组合成强大的多模式解决方案。语音分析可以在某个时刻，尤其是随着时间的推移，对大脑功能产生有价值的见解。

Aural Analytics not only does speech analytics, but has proprietary technology in the acoustic analysis of voice. Integration of Aural’s analyses into Linus Health’s multimodal process-based assessments yields even deeper insights into brain function and the ability to identify early brain-related dysfunction quickly..

Aural Analytics不仅进行语音分析，而且在语音声学分析方面拥有专有技术。将Aural的分析整合到Linus Health基于多模式过程的评估中，可以更深入地了解大脑功能以及快速识别早期大脑相关功能障碍的能力。。

“Thanks to the nature of software, our platform can distribute new, advanced, and validated digital diagnostics to the market globally with unprecedented speed,” said Linus Health CEO and Co-Founder David Bates, PhD. “As with any chronic illness, earlier detection of brain-related disabilities allows for intervention that can delay, modify, or even prevent progression of the disease.

Linus Health首席执行官兼联合创始人David Bates博士说：“由于软件的性质，我们的平台可以以前所未有的速度向全球市场分发新的，先进的和经过验证的数字诊断。”。“与任何慢性疾病一样，早期发现与大脑有关的残疾可以进行干预，从而延缓、改变甚至阻止疾病的进展。

It’s why we are engineering the most inclusive approach to assessing and monitoring brain function, one that includes speech and movement, in addition to memory and other neurological functions.”.

这就是为什么我们正在设计一种最具包容性的方法来评估和监测大脑功能，除了记忆和其他神经功能外，还包括言语和运动。”。

Widespread use of effective screening followed by appropriate interventions and monitoring will benefit hundreds of millions of patients worldwide.

广泛使用有效筛查，然后进行适当的干预和监测，将使全球数亿患者受益。

Clients of both companies can expect a seamless transition during the integration of the two companies and can continue to contact their current representatives for support needs.

两家公司的客户可以期望在两家公司的整合过程中实现无缝过渡，并可以继续联系他们目前的代表以获取支持需求。
