This innovation facilitates private, objective, and affordable mental health screening, significantly improving the detection and prevention of mental health issues.
Ravindran Govindan, chairman, and MD, Fischer MVL, highlighted the significance of this investment, stating, "This partnership provides us with exclusive rights to market Wonder Tech's groundbreaking technology in ASEAN, India, and Middle Eastern markets. Our goal is to scale up their impressive voice-based depression diagnostic solution that works across languages, including hundreds of diverse Indian languages."
Wendy Wu, founder and chairman of Wonder Tech Group, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership with Fischer MVL.
"With our technology, consumers and corporations can monitor mental health and wellness through a few seconds of voice data. We are excited to significantly scale our operations with the support of Fischer MVL's robust sales network," Wu noted.
