Summary
This study tested a smartphone app that reads lip movements and turns them into words on a screen. It was designed for patients with a tracheostomy who cannot speak because of a breathing tube. The study included 31 adults in intensive care and acute care units in Northern Ireland. Researchers wanted to see if the app helps patients communicate better and reduce frustration for patients, families, and staff.
