“Vocals for Science” joins Alliance of Global Pandemic Innovators 

 Vocal biomarkers have an amazing potential in reforming diagnostics through their accuracy, speed and cost-effectiveness. XPRIZE, a Los Angeles and Silicon Valley based non-profit organization that designs and manages public competitions intended to encourage technological development that could benefit humanity, has launched a COVID-19 response platform in collaboration with Anthem, and calls on the global community to unite, collaborate and share information to address immediate needs and find long-term, durable solutions to pandemic threats. 

Vocals for Science has now joined the Alliance and will contribute insights and expertise regarding the COVID-19 detection on Vocal Biomarkers generated in Europe.  

As part of this Alliance, researchers and scientists are invited to access experiences and knowledge through the XPRIZE Data Collaborative, a unique platform for researchers and innovators to collaborate, share and learn in a broad spectrum of fields in their search for solutions. This aims to unlock new approaches to fighting pandemics and will serve as the backbone to the collective effort that will prepare us for additional pandemic spikes like COVID-19, or other viral threats.  

“We are very delighted that we can now contribute and exchange ideas and experience with the world’s smartest researchers within the Alliance of Pandemic Innovators and contribute our learnings working on innovative COVID-19 detection methods”, Philip Mertes & Dirk Simon passionately look forward for the collaboration.
