WHERE IT ALL STARTED

In 2020, Arianna and Ayana met at an event focused on healthcare innovation, igniting a shared vision for transforming health access.

As the daughter of two pulmonologists, Arianna has always been aware of the challenges in delivering care and is driven to make it more accessible. When the COVID pandemic began, Ayana recognized that the time to act for a healthier future was now and decided to leverage her skills to improve healthcare. Inspired by their vision of a world where everyone everywhere is empowered to better manage their health, Fulvio, who was already working on vocal biomarkers, added this innovative technology as a mean to reach the vision. Together, they created VoiceMed towards a future where healthcare is assessible everywhere and from anyone in a proactive and convenient way.

“When I was a kid, I used to listen to my parents talk to their patients on the phone, and I wondered how they could monitor their health through a call.” Arianna
