Projects:2019s2-24501 Voice Control Communication System for Stroke Patients

Abstract here

Introduction

During the acute phase of brain stroke, people often suffer severe cognitive impairment and lack the ability to clearly articulate themselves as their speech is impaired. This severely restricts communication between patient and caregiver and is a cause of deep frustration during rehabilitation. The aim of this project is to develop an Android-based communication App that allows patients to utter a variety of sounds and performs 1:1 mapping to a variety of pre-programmed words. Patient-individual libraries will be created that are at the foundation of machine learning algorithms that match incoming voice commands to voice samples from the library. This project will help develop skills in machine learning and Android App development and provide the opportunity to experience work with real patients in the hospital.

The overall aim of this project is to design an Android-based communication App which allows patients to utter a variety of sounds and performs 1:1 mapping to a variety of pre-programmed words inside the database of this application. The purpose of the project is to help the caregivers understand the specific needs of stroke patients, while reducing the suffering of stroke patients to provide them with a better life experience.
