Area of Science:

  • Assistive Technology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Patients with barriers to verbal communication often struggle to express essential needs and feelings.
  • Traditional communication methods may be insufficient for individuals with complex communication impairments.
  • The advent of mobile technology presents new opportunities for assistive communication solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an innovative augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) method utilizing a mobile application.
  • To highlight the potential of tablet-based AAC applications, such as the Arthur app, for patient communication.
  • To emphasize the importance of strategic patient selection and information management in AAC implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mobile application on an Apple iPad® as the core AAC tool.
  • Focused on the application's role in facilitating expression of needs, feelings, and questions.
  • Considered factors influencing successful adoption, including patient population, timing, and information quality.

Main Results:

  • The mobile application provides an accessible means for patients with communication barriers to express themselves.
  • The Arthur app serves as an example of effective AAC technology.
  • Successful implementation hinges on appropriate patient-device matching and tailored information delivery.

Conclusions:

  • Mobile AAC applications represent a significant advancement in supporting patients with verbal communication challenges.
  • Effective use requires careful consideration of the patient's specific context and communication requirements.
  • Optimizing the quantity and quality of information is crucial for maximizing the benefits of AAC technology.
