LANGaware has announced the completion of its new funding round with the aim of revolutionizing the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. Strategic investors in the healthcare industry led the investment round, which was also attended by existing investor Metavallon VC.
LANGaware, founded by Vasiliki Rentoumi, a researcher in the field of Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics, uses artificial intelligence to predict neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and depression, through the detection and monitoring of digital biomarkers based on language, voice and speech. The technology behind the platform, now patented through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), is the product of years of research and has already been incorporated into a number of recognized clinics and aged care units in the United States and Greece.
The LANGaware platform’s solution aims to help healthcare providers promote research, improve care, and provide personalized support to people facing such conditions. LANGaware’s clients include clinics, hospitals, aged care units and pharmaceutical companies.These clients are now able to identify, promptly, people at high risk or diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases and to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment provided.
