40 seconds of speech. Clinical-grade insight. Zero stigma. The first proactive, voice-based early detection system built for first responders.
The Challenge
First responders carry an immense psychological burden. Most wellness tools rely on self-reporting. By the time someone asks for help, it's often too late.

How It Works
Powered by Canary Speech's 23 patented vocal biomarker technologies. Clinically validated. Privacy-preserving.
A voice sample is captured during a routine check-in, briefing, or app-based self-assessment. No special equipment needed.
AI analyzes thousands of vocal biomarkers — pitch, timing, prosody, jitter, and vocal energy — to produce clinical-grade insights.
Wellness leaders receive objective scores and longitudinal tracking that flags early warning signals before a crisis.
Signal Check™
Four dimensions. One voice sample.
Our Purpose
Proactive wellness monitoring demonstrates duty of care and reduces exposure to fitness-for-duty incidents.
Address burnout and fatigue before they lead to turnover, absenteeism, or performance decline.
Aggregate anonymized insights to measure program effectiveness and allocate resources where they matter most.
Voice-based check-ins feel like a conversation, not a test. No forms, no labels, no fear.
40 seconds of natural speech. No questionnaires, no appointments, no disruption to shift schedules.
Designed to support, not monitor. Officers see their own wellness trends and connect to resources confidentially.
