Smartphone app gives voice back to silent patients
NCT ID NCT06027866
Summary
This study tested a new smartphone app designed to help patients with tracheostomies communicate. When patients have a breathing tube in their neck, they can't speak, which causes distress and safety risks. The app uses lip-reading technology to translate a patient's lip movements into words on a screen. Researchers observed 31 patients in critical care to see if this tool improved communication and gathered feedback from patients, families, and staff.
