Ubenwa

What is Ubenwa?

Ubenwa is an infant cry analysis platform that uses signal processing and AI to read the biomarkers in a baby's cry. Its consumer product is the Nanni AI app, and its technology is also offered to healthcare practitioners, researchers and clinical trials.

Key capabilities of Ubenwa

• Cry interpretation: reads infant cries to identify what a baby needs
• Health biomarkers: analyzes cry sounds for signs of health conditions
• Pain cry detection: the vendor says its foundation model detects pain cries
• Noise exposure detection: flags harmful noise exposure around infants
• Nanni AI app: a consumer app for parents
• API integrations: packaged products and API integrations for any mic-enabled device

How Ubenwa works

Ubenwa records audio from a mic-enabled device and analyzes the biomarkers in the cry. The vendor says its model is trained on a large database of infant cry sounds collected with pediatric hospitals across three continents. Output is delivered through the Nanni AI app or through API integrations for clinical and research use.

Who uses Ubenwa?

Parents use the Nanni AI app. Healthcare practitioners, researchers and clinical research organizations use the technology in studies and clinical trials. Named partners include Google, McGill University, MILA, MIT and the Vector Institute.

Ubenwa pricing

Ubenwa does not publish prices on its homepage. Pricing for clinical and API use comes from the vendor.

Ubenwa alternatives

Alternatives in healthcare AI include Aiforia for pathology image analysis and Eleos Health for behavioral health documentation, though neither analyzes infant cries.
