Sonde Health is a health technology company with a voice-enabled symptom detection and monitoring platform for chronic and mental health conditions. Our products are based on patented and proprietary, best-in-class technology developed by amazing people with advanced audio signal processing, speech science and machine learning backgrounds. We analyze over 4,000 vocal features that reflect changes in your voice caused by the changing physiology of your body due to symptoms of disease. Sonde's platform is designed with people's privacy in mind, and work on most smartphones people already own, preventing you from having to wear something new or add anything to your busy life.

In 2013, our Chief Scientific Officer Professor Mark Post unveiled the world’s first cultured meat hamburger to a packed press conference in London. The burger was harvested directly from cow cells, rather than raising and slaughtering a whole animal. It was the result of years of research at Maastricht University, and cost €250,000 to make. The effort was funded by Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google. Our motivation was to find a new method to make real meat to feed our fast-growing population in a sustainable, healthy and animal-friendly way. Following the success of the first hamburger, we created Mosa Meat to commercialise cultured meat (also known as clean meat, cultivated meat or cell-based meat) and bring it to plates everywhere. In the past few years we’ve made significant scientific breakthroughs, and brought the price down considerably. We’re now focussed on scaling up the production process, and getting our first products to market.
