Cymo BV

With 40 years of research experience in voice instruments and 15 years of experience in developing endoscopy equipment, Cymo B.V. developed as a spin-off company of the University of Groningen and was officially registered on June 8th, 2007. Cymo B.V. is supported by the Technology Foundation STW, a branch of the NWO, the Dutch research council, and the Groningen Voice Research Lab (HKS). Cymo B.V. developed the new generation videokymograph (VKG), after receiving investments from STW project GKG.5973 “Voice diagnostics in a new perspective”. The VKG system is an ultra-high speed diagnostic imaging tool, based on an on-line scanning procedure perpendicular to the vibrating vocal folds during phonation. The high-sensitivity technology allows medical specialists working in the field of voice disorders to analyze pathological fast or irregular vocal fold movements.
