By leveraging Zoom Realtime Media Streams, the software functions as a passive diagnostic assistant. It tracks over 2,500 speech features without interrupting the flow of a clinical consultation. This allows providers to move beyond subjective patient self-reporting, offering an objective layer of data that captures health shifts before they become clinically apparent through traditional assessments.

Henry O'Connell, CEO of Canary Speech, frames the technology as a new vital sign for the digital age. For healthcare organizations, the value lies in the seamless adoption of the tool, as it integrates directly into existing virtual care workflows. Brendan Ittelson, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Zoom, noted that the move aims to support more informed clinical conversations by surfacing signals that might otherwise be overlooked in a remote setting. The integration is available immediately for clinicians currently utilizing the platform.
