Purpose of the Research
Klick Applied Sciences is a health research company and is conducting research to explore the association of voice signals with Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a good indicator of your risk for body fat-related diseases (e.g., heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems, or certain cancers). Also, we will explore the effect of linguistic characteristics on BMI prediction or voice recognition to serve better monitoring of health conditions.
Study Involvement
Upon Signing up as a study participant, you will be asked to record one English sentence using a website audio recording system, and the audio will be sent to us by your web browser. After the voice recording, you will be asked to answer some basic demographic and linguistic information as well as health-related questions. This study is completely voluntary, and your participation is extremely appreciated for the advancement of science. We will share our research results when you register your email address.
There are no potential risks to this study, and the expected duration of your participation is approximately 2-3 minutes. Make sure that voice should be recorded in a quiet place.

Tap the record button, read the following sentences, then press the stop button.
My baby Augustus was born prematurely. He was born at 28 weeks and two days. He received Synagis to prevent severe RSV disease. Now, he is 6 months old. His skin looks yellowish and so do his eyes. He also has diarrhea, a mild fever, and some vomiting. I have given him baby acetominophen. What is happening? What other treatments are available? Can I make an appointment with a physician?
