A voice-based health detection system used to monitor vocal changes of a user to detect early signs of potential health issues. The system may comprise a voice-based health detection server communicatively coupled to sensors such as wearable computing devices. The sensors may be used to capture signal data and monitor vital signs from a user. The server may be configured to receive the signal data from the sensors, identify characteristics from the signal data, and extract features from the characteristics. The extracted features may comprise vocal characteristics of the user such as vocal pitch, speed, range, weight, and timbre. The server may be configured to detect whether the extracted features exceed a predetermined threshold. The system may therefore provide early health-based alerts of potential health issues of the user in response to the detected features exceeding the predetermined threshold and shifting beyond their regular control limits.
