Development of software for wearable speech devices to aid communication for patients

Digital Ink Technologies（DIT）Web Solutions由一个由设计师、Web开发人员和品牌专家组成的团队组成，他们为客户创造引人入胜的定制在线体验。他们的服务包括网页开发，网页设计，搜索引擎优化和品牌。有了这些专业知识，DIT Web Solutions和百年纪念学院的可穿戴、互动和移动的技术健康访问中心（WIMTACH）正在合作设计一种可穿戴语音设备，允许不说话的人仅使用头部运动来选择屏幕上的对话，并以正常的速度进行对话。过去的语音生成设备（SDG）过于庞大，并且在通信方面的选择有限，尽管随着社交媒体等在线通信的出现，英语语言取得了进步。随着医疗保健系统继续增加家庭的成本，特别是那些有不说话的成员和高级成员的家庭，有一个负担得起的，可访问的，当前的和易于使用的技术的需求。该设备将减少非语言个体对其护理人员的依赖，并由于更好的沟通而改善患者护理。

Digital Ink Technologies (DIT) Web Solutions consists of a team of designers, web developers and brand experts who create engaging and tailored online experiences for their customers. Their services include web development, web design, search engine optimization and branding. With this expertise, DIT Web Solutions and Centennial College's Wearable, Interactive and Mobile Technologies Access Centre in Health (WIMTACH) are partnering to design a wearable speech device that allows non-speaking persons to use head movement alone to select on-screen dialogue and communicate conversationally at a normal pace. Past speech generating devices (SDGs) were too bulky and limited in their options for communication, despite progression in the English language with the advent of online communications such as social media. And as the healthcare system continues to increase costs for families, especially those with non-speaking members and senior members, there is a stated need for technology that is affordable, accessible, current and easy-to-use. This device will reduce reliance of nonverbal individuals on their caregivers and improve patient care due to better communications.
