The AI used in the Opa Mind solution was developed in Insight, the Science Foundation Ireland research centre for data analytics, at DCU. It analyses a user’s voice collected privately and sends back a range of reflective metrics and indicators across emotional states and vocal biomarkers. The project budget was over a quarter of a million.
As Prof Tomas Ward of DCU and Insight was principal investigator of the team behind Opa Mind’s core API element, said in the article: (“This recognition by a body such as the World Economic Forum is testament to the real innovation impact that arises when entrepreneurs with vision and clarity of purpose engage with academia through the mechanisms made possible through Science Foundation Ireland. I am proud that the Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics has matched Martin and his teams’ appetite for risk-taking with a faith in them as entrepreneurs and an ability to produce technology that can actively help Opa on the next stage of their journey. We are looking forward to the deepening of the relationship and the scientific and engineering challenges that it may bring to us.”)
