According to Stanford AI Lab (@StanfordAILab), the newly released SLP-Helm benchmark rigorously tests how artificial intelligence models diagnose pediatric speech disorders, highlighting both the promise and existing limitations of AI in healthcare. The benchmark exposes where AI models excel and where they fall short, including the presence of bias in speech disorder diagnosis among children. This development opens up business opportunities for AI healthtech companies to address gaps in pediatric speech care, develop more equitable diagnostic tools, and accelerate digital healthcare solutions for a market where millions of children lack timely intervention. These findings are detailed in the Stanford AI Lab blog (source: Stanford AI Lab, 2025).
