    Chief Medical Officer
    Canary Speech, Inc. Apr 2016 - Present
    We have developed an exciting new technology for early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimers and other debilitating neurological illnesses. Our Canary Speech Product, as its name suggests, provides an early warning to individuals and family members of subtle changes in speech patterns, which indicate pending Alzheimers years before current clinical diagnosis can be made. This product thus allows earlier detection and treatment thereby slowing decline and preserving cognitive function for years. Canary Speech therefore will will improve lives of millions and their families, help individuals live a more independent lifestyle and have longer meaningful relationships with family. Individuals or family members that are concerned because of a family history of dementia or because they want to appropriately plan care for aging parents, can use the Canary Speech application on a mobile device to regularly monitor their cognitive health. We envision Canary Speech becoming the critical link between individuals, families, physicians and care providers in the next several years as we cast a broader net and identify more individuals at an earlier stage when we can better plan, treat and care for those with Alzheimers.
