Laronix's AI Command Over Voice Restoration Supported by $3.2 Million Grant

Laronix Receives Significant Funding for Groundbreaking Voice Restoration Technology

Laronix, a pioneering medical technology firm based in Brisbane, has recently secured a substantial grant of AUD 3.2 million (approximately USD 2.1 million) from the Australian Government's Industry Growth Program (IGP) 2025. This funding is set to supercharge the company’s efforts in commercializing its cutting-edge AI-powered voice restoration solutions.

The company specializes in developing innovative voice restoration technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions suffering from voice loss worldwide. As human voice loss remains a largely unaddressed healthcare issue, Laronix offers a glimmer of hope through its next-generation voice technologies and artificial larynx devices. The CEO, Dr. Farzaneh Ahmadi, remarked on the critical nature of this technology, emphasizing the need for solutions that allow voiceless patients to communicate naturally.

The centerpiece of Laronix's current offering is the AVA Voice device, which has already gained commercial traction in the U.S. and Australian markets. This device empowers patients who have lost their voices due to laryngectomy to speak and even sing with a high level of clarity and natural sound. AVA Voice has been embraced by over 40 leading hospitals, reflecting robust clinical data and patient satisfaction.

Building upon the success of AVA Voice, Laronix is on the verge of launching MIRA Voice, an advanced, non-invasive artificial larynx designed to assist a broader demographic suffering from voice loss. This includes patients in intensive care units who have lost their voice due to intubation, as well as those affected by neurological conditions like Parkinson's Disease. In addition, the company is simultaneously developing MIRA-AI, which utilizes state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to synthesize a voice that remarkably resembles the patient’s natural speaking voice.

Dr. Mousa Ahmadi, the COO of Laronix, shared insights into the growing demand for MIRA Voice, stating,
