DiagNose
Making speech assessment accessible through a portable, child-friendly nasometer.
About us
For a child born with a cleft palate, surgery is only the beginning of the journey. The real challenge is finding their voice. In low-income countries, where the majority of cleft palate cases occur, the 'gold standard' for diagnosing hypernasality is a clinician's ear. It is subjective, inconsistent, and prone to error. While objective tools like nasometers exist, they cost thousands of dollars, making them inaccessible in the communities that need them the most. We at DiagNose seek to change that with tinytalk.
The Mission
Redefining how we measure and analyze speech nasality.
tinytalk was born from the need to identify nasal air emission and hypernasality in children with cleft palate that is affordable and portable. By combining high-tech sensors with modern mobile technology, we provide a seamless experience for both clinicians and patients.
