This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084), supports the development of the SonoVoice Voice Evaluation and Monitoring System. The $275,000 award, effective from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will be used by the small business Sonovoice, Inc. to create an affordable, portable digital device and smartphone application for comprehensive voice health evaluations. The proposed solution aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders, which affect an estimated one in eight adults in the United States annually at a cost of nearly $15 billion in healthcare expenses. The project involves iterative prototyping, calibration, and rigorous validation with human subjects to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and user-friendliness of the multimodal voice assessment tool. The anticipated outcome is the successful development of an accessible device that can capture and classify differential vocal performance, providing a comprehensive picture of vocal function.
