Scope library

The anonymized laryngoscopy research pool — one case, three disciplines learning from it

PRD F12 · Phase 3

Provider-tier concept, fully synthetic — stylized illustrations, invented cases, no real footage or patients. The insight that makes it possible: a laryngoscopy never shows a face, just the vocal folds — so with consent and careful de-identification, cases can pool into a shared teaching library.

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis · VF-0142

synthetic teaching case

Left fold immobile in paramedian position; incomplete closure; breathy phonation.

🤖 AI pre-read (future feature — mock)

Asymmetric fold motion
Glottal gap on phonation
Compensatory supraglottic squeeze

Assistive flags for the reviewing clinician — never a diagnosis. (The meeting's vision: “you upload your laryngoscopy video and it goes: that's these things.”)

Speech therapist sees

Explains the breathiness no exercise was fixing — therapy targets compensation.

Laryngologist sees

Work-up for cause; candidacy for medialization procedures.

Voice coach sees

The case from the founding meeting — 'patient X has a paralyzed vocal cord; this is what that looks like.'

↑ One case, three disciplines learning each other's language. Today these specialists rarely see how the others think about the same voice.

How a real scope video would get here

The patient shares it through their own clinician, into protected storage with audited access
Separate, explicit consent for research use — never bundled into consent for care
De-identification before it joins the pool; helpfully, a scope never shows a face to begin with
A one-way, logged import — and deletion that reaches every copy

The standards for de-identification and for whether pooled research use needs formal review are being settled with a compliance advisor before any of this is built.
