Voice Monitor
Voice Characteristics and Behavior Monitoring Wearable
Summary
While at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, I created a lightweight, on-body, wireless system designed for monitoring real-world voice characteristics and behavior. The system has the potential to provide important assessments of voice and speech disorders, psychological and emotional state, and the impact of environmental sound levels. The system’s transmitter is positioned on the neck and synchronously streams dual-channel sensor data from an on-board MEMS microphone and a high bandwidth accelerometer, which acts as a noise-robust and confidential contact microphone. These data are recorded to a receiver that can store the data locally and stream a real-time feed to a computer.
