OtoSense uses an inferential sound engine to turn sounds and vibrations into actionable meaning. The company was originally founded with the goal of helping hearing-impaired individuals understand their surrounding environment. The company has since expanded its impact into the realm of public safety with the potential to help autonomous vehicles stay safe by listening for emergency sirens, or keeping cities safer by interpreting sounds from city surveillance systems. Otosense was acquired by Analog Devices in 2018.
