What our voice reveals about our health | Dr. Anthony Law | TEDxAtlanta

For laryngologist Anthony Law, an individual's voice unlocks a wealth of information about their health and well-being. In this fascinating talk, he explains how voice is used as a biomarker for early throat cancer detection and the efforts underway to bring this highly specialized skill to primary care physicians across the country and the world. Dr. Anthony Law’s ground-breaking research is forging a new frontier in laryngeal cancer detection and treatment. A board certified head and neck surgeon with broad experience in mathematical modeling and computational models, Anthony’s research and clinical interests converge with his focus on applying machine learning to characterize and categorize diseases of the voice box. His vision is to make voice a biomarker for disease. Anthony is a member of the Emory Voice Center team where he treats patients with disorders involving voice, airway, and swallowing using a wide array of techniques ranging from open surgery, endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, and laser surgery.
