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

数字墨水技术(DIT)网络解决方案由设计师、网络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量身定制的在线体验。他们的服务包括网页开发、网页设计、搜索引擎优化和品牌推广。凭借这一专业知识，DIT网络解决方案公司和百年学院的可穿戴、互动和移动健康技术接入中心(WIMTACH)正在合作设计一种可穿戴语音设备，允许不会说话的人只需移动头部就可以选择屏幕上的对话，并以正常的速度进行对话。过去的语音生成设备(SDG)过于笨重，交流选择有限，尽管随着社交媒体等在线交流的出现，英语取得了进步。随着医疗系统继续增加家庭的成本，特别是那些有非发言成员和老年成员的家庭，人们显然需要负担得起、可获得、最新和易于使用的技术。这种设备将减少非语言个体对其照顾者的依赖，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.
