A mind-to-speech assistance that helps people with aphasia gain their voice back, allowing them to be part of society again
Aphasia is a language disorder mostly caused by brain strokes, where individuals lose abilities to speak, listen and comprehend, read, and write. Many individuals with aphasia aged 30-50 struggle to continue their lives post-stroke and be part of society again. It takes a long time for individuals to gain back their abilities through rehabilitation and the lack of understanding from public restricts them to return to society immediately.
FILL MY BLANK is a mind-to-speech assistance that helps those individuals to communicate more effectively with others. The system consists of an app and a device, which builds sentences from users' words and communicates those for them.
FILL MY BLANK does not only support individuals with aphasia to gain back their confidence and self-identity but also increases public understanding and creates a more inclusive environment, creating hope and motivation for and with every individual.
