AegisVox framework developed for privacy in clinical speech

Researchers have developed AegisVox, a novel framework designed to protect sensitive information in long-form clinical speech. This system aims to preserve clinical evidence while replacing identifying details with consistent surrogate voices and editing specific turns. Evaluations on a large dataset of simulated conversations showed that while text-to-speech rendering was more effective at realizing replacements, both methods had varying degrees of success in maintaining speaker linkage and clinical preservation. AegisVox allows for use-specific evaluations of these trade-offs, emphasizing that it does not guarantee complete identifier removal or absolute clinical safety. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more secure methods for handling sensitive audio data in clinical and other contexts.

    AegisVox: Factorized Privacy and Clinical Preservation for Long-Form Speech

    arXiv:2610.14643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical speech reveals identity through both spoken identifiers and voice, yet its pauses, delivery, and speaker roles can also carry useful clinical evidence. Protecting that speech therefore requires more than preserving its word…
