SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aural Analytics, Inc., a privately held digital health company developing the world’s most advanced speech analytics platform, today announced its participation in the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® initiative to develop new standards and best practices for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
The CTA AI in Healthcare Working Group, which comprises more than 45 organizations, from major tech companies to health care industry leaders, aims to ultimately enhance health outcomes, improve efficiencies and reduce health care costs.
“Aural Analytics is pleased to be working alongside an impressive roster of innovators from across the ecosystem to define standards governing how all modalities, including voice, will be used in healthcare,” said Visar Berisha, Ph.D., co-founder, chief analytics officer, Aural Analytics and a member of the working group.
