Voice-based AI Agents: Filling the Economic Gaps in Digital Health Delivery
The integration of voice-based AI agents in healthcare presents a transformative opportunity to bridge economic and accessibility gaps in digital health delivery. This paper explores the role of large language model (LLM)-powered voice assistants in enhancing preventive care and continuous patient monitoring, particularly in underserved populations. Drawing insights from the development and pilot study of Agent PULSE (Patient Understanding and Liaison Support Engine) -- a collaborative initiati…

Challenges in Automated Processing of Speech from Child Wearables: The Case of Voice Type Classifier
Recordings gathered with child-worn devices promised to revolutionize both fundamental and applied speech sciences by allowing the effortless capture of children's naturalistic speech environment and language production. This promise hinges on speech technologies that can transform the sheer mounds of data thus collected into usable information. This paper demonstrates several obstacles blocking progress by summarizing three years' worth of experiments aimed at improving one fundamental task: V…
