    Deaf teletypewriter (TDD) users now have 24-hour emergency access via computer-aided telecommunications. This system uses an interface and software to connect TDDs to microprocessors, enabling faster communication for deaf patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency medical services
    • Telecommunications accessibility
    • Assistive technology

    Background:

    • Deaf individuals face communication barriers accessing emergency services.
    • Traditional communication methods are often inadequate for deaf patients.
    • Teletypewriter (TDD) technology offers a potential solution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a computer-aided telecommunication system for deaf TDD users.
    • To enhance emergency service access for individuals with hearing impairments.
    • To facilitate rapid and effective communication during medical emergencies.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an interface and software to link TDDs with microprocessors.
    • Implementation of voltage level reduction and inversion for device compatibility.
