Revolutionize Cognitive Health Monitoring with AI
Caring from a Distance
Living in Palo Alto while my 85-year-old grandmother lives alone in a quiet village in Japan, I constantly worried about her cognitive well-being. I couldn’t be there to notice the early signs of memory decline or confusion—and that uncertainty weighed on me. Then I discovered Kinabot.
Now, after each weekly call, I upload our conversation. Kinabot uses advanced AI to analyze her speech—monitoring key cognitive indicators like lexical diversity, memory markers, and emotional tone. It turns everyday conversations into a window into her cognitive health.
Scientific Evidence
“Participants with cognitive impairment showed lower syntactic complexity and coherence in their speech, and these features declined further over a six-month period.”

Traditional Alzheimer’s screenings are often costly and invasive. Research shows that subtle changes in speech—like coherence and vocabulary—can reveal early cognitive decline. One study found that a simple 10-minute speech task at home could detect early signs of impairment. This supports Kinabot’s mission to make cognitive health monitoring easy, affordable, and remote.
Cognitive Decline Indicators in Speech Analysis
KinaBot assesses key cognitive health indicators from speech, including:
- Lexical Diversity: Measures vocabulary richness and variation.
- Sentence Complexity: Evaluates grammatical depth and structure.
- Speech Fluency: Tracks pauses, hesitations, and filler word frequency.
- Speech Rate: Analyzes words spoken per minute.
- Acoustic Features: Examines pitch, intonation, and voice tremors.
- Word-Finding Difficulty: Identifies retrieval issues or frequent repetitions.
- Topic Coherence: Assesses logical flow of speech.
- Sentiment and Emotional Tone: Detects emotional shifts and monotony.
- Pronunciation Variability: Observes articulation and clarity changes.
- Memory Recall in Speech: Evaluates consistency in referencing past topics
"What drew me to Kinabot was its unique approach—not just analyzing what people say, but how they say it. It looks at elements like vocabulary richness, sentence structure, and emotional tone to uncover deeper insights into cognitive and emotional health."

"I worry about my aging parents’ cognitive health, but my work is so busy. Kinabot helps by analyzing our conversations and generating clear, easy-to-understand reports. When it detected early signs of cognitive decline, I was able to take action sooner. It gives me timely insight and peace of mind."
