Reviving Speech & Improving Lives
Improving Speech of Patients with Hypokinetic Dysarthria
Research efforts by Prof. Jessica E. Huber at Purdue University have led to the development of the SpeechVive™ device, which improves speech intelligibility for patients with hypokinetic dysarthria. By detecting when a patient speaks and utilizing the Lombard Effect, SpeechVive™ places little cognitive demand on the patient, yet elicits more intelligible speech.
AMIPurdue is supporting further development of this technology and seeking clinical input on the SpeechVive™ system.
