Priya almost fell through the cracks.
VoxAID caught her.

Priya Sharma lives in a village outside Patna, Bihar. She has two children under 5. After her second pregnancy, something changed. She stopped going to the market. She stopped talking to her neighbors. Her husband works in Delhi and sends money, but she can't explain why she feels nothing.

The nearest psychiatrist is 4 hours away by bus. She doesn't have a smartphone. She has never heard the word “depression.”

Priya is one of 1.2 billion people living with a mental disorder. 75% of them will never receive treatment.

Sunita visits 50 families in her area every month. She has a paper checklist for maternal health, nutrition, and immunization. But she has no tool for mental health. She knows Priya isn't doing well — she can see it — but she doesn't know how to measure it or what to do next.

Until today. Today, Sunita has VoxAID.

Sunita hands Priya a basic phone and dials the VoxAID number. A voice in Hindi asks Priya to describe how she's been feeling. Priya speaks for 25 seconds:

“Main bahut thak gayi hoon... raat ko neend nahi aati. Kuch achha nahi lagta. Bachche ki chinta rehti hai. Kaam mein mann nahi lagta.”

Translation: “I am very tired... I can't sleep at night. Nothing feels good. I worry about the children. I can't focus on work.”

In under 60 seconds, VoxAID analyzes Priya's voice — not just her words, but her vocal biomarkers:

Every biomarker is flagged. Her pitch is low, her voice trembles more than normal, she pauses frequently. VoxAID's risk model returns a depression risk score of 82% — critical.

Within seconds, an AI-generated action plan appears on Sunita's tablet — in Hindi:

Priya also gets a callback on her phone — a voice in Hindi explaining what to expect and that help is on the way.

Sunita taps “Refer to Clinic” on her dashboard. VoxAID writes a referral record with Priya's risk score, AI summary, and a 24-hour action window — and gives Sunita a shareable link she pastes into the channel she already uses with the PHC (WhatsApp, SMS, or a printed slip).

VoxAID doesn't assume the clinic has email or a messaging account — most rural PHCs don't. We give the CHW the record and the artifact; she chooses the channel.

Then VoxAID calls Priya back. A voice in Hindi tells her she has been referred and a health worker will follow up within 24 hours. The loop is closed — call in, screening, action plan, call out.

There are 4 billion people like Priya who will never see a psychiatrist. They will all eventually own a phone that makes calls.

VoxAID is how we screen them.
