GIA™ vs. Manual Clinical Screening
What changes when you stop screening with clipboards and start screening with speech biomarkers
Manual clinical screening in post-acute and long-term care relies on a clinician sitting with a patient, reading questions from a standardized form, scoring responses, and documenting results in the EHR. It takes 20-45 minutes per patient. It requires a licensed clinician. And it happens infrequently because the staff time does not exist to do it at scale. GIA™ screens for 46 conditions in a single conversation lasting under 5 minutes. No clinician required during the interaction. Results are delivered to the clinician in 60 seconds for review. Four data types write back to the EHR after the clinician reviews and approves.
How do they compare?
| Dimension | Manual Clinical Screening | GIA™ |
|---|---|---|
| Time per screening | 20-45 minutes | Under 5 minutes |
| Staff required | Licensed clinician for full duration | Zero during screening |
| Conditions per session | 1 (one tool per condition) | 46 simultaneously |
| Screening frequency | Quarterly or as-needed | As often as needed. No staff constraint |
| Languages | English (interpreter required otherwise) | 92 languages natively |
| EHR documentation | Manual entry after screening | Automatic write-back in real time |
| Biomarker analysis | None | 2,500+ speech, 436 visual |
| Regulatory status | Varies by tool | 510(k) registered |
| Clinician review time | N/A (clinician conducts) | Under 2 minutes |
Where manual clinical screening falls short
Traditional paper-based or EHR-template screening where a licensed clinician administers a standardized assessment tool (PHQ-9, MoCA, BIMS, GAD-7) to each patient individually.
- Takes 20-45 minutes per patient per assessment tool
- Requires a licensed clinician for the full duration
- Each tool screens for one condition. Depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, and PTSD require separate assessments
- Screenings are infrequent because staff time is the bottleneck. Most facilities screen quarterly or only when a problem is already visible
- Paper forms require manual transcription to the EHR. Errors and delays are common
- Scoring is subjective. Different clinicians score the same patient differently
- No speech biomarker analysis. No computer vision. No multimodal data capture
- Patients who do not speak English fluently are often screened poorly or not at all
What GIA™ does differently
- Screens for 46 conditions in a single conversation under 5 minutes
- Zero clinical staff required during the screening interaction
- Analyzes 2,500+ speech biomarkers and 436 visual data points simultaneously
- Results delivered to the clinician in 60 seconds for review
- Four data types write back to the EHR automatically: screening results, medical notes, transcript, patient video
- GIA™ speaks 92 languages for patient comfort and rapport
- Consistent, objective screening every time. No scorer variability
- 510(k) registered. Peer-reviewed accuracy: Depression 81.6%, PTSD 80.0%, Anxiety 77.5%, Parkinson’s AUC 0.97
Manual screening catches what a clinician has time to look for. GIA™ catches what 2,500 speech biomarkers and 436 visual data points reveal in under 5 minutes, with zero staff time during the interaction. The clinician reviews. The human is always in the loop. The difference is capacity. Manual screening is limited by how many clinicians you have. GIA™ is not.
Common questions
Does GIA™ replace clinical screening?
GIA™ replaces the manual administration of screening tools. The clinician still reviews every result before it enters the clinical record. GIA™ handles the interaction and analysis. The clinician makes the clinical decision.
Is GIA™ as accurate as a clinician-administered screening?
Peer-reviewed accuracy: Depression 81.6%, PTSD 80.0%, Anxiety 77.5%, Parkinson’s AUC 0.97. GIA™ also captures biomarkers that traditional screening tools cannot detect, including vocal tremor, articulatory precision, and prosodic patterns.
Can GIA™ screen patients who do not speak English?
GIA™ speaks 92 languages for patient comfort and rapport. All documentation transcribes to English in the EHR. No interpreter scheduling required.
