About ASSISLT

ASSISLT is a computer-aided system designed to support speech therapy for individuals with motor speech disorders like dysarthria, apraxia, and dyslalia. The system uses standard webcams to evaluate therapeutic exercises in real-time with advanced image processing and neural network algorithms. Patients receive immediate feedback and interactive guidance through augmented reality elements.

Key Features

• Automated Assessment: Real-time evaluation of tongue, lips, and facial movements during therapy exercises.
• Augmented Reality (AR): Visual cues guide patients through exercises, enhancing engagement and accuracy.
• Customizable Exercises: Therapists can design personalized exercise plans and adjust difficulty levels.
• Wide Accessibility: Uses standard webcams for convenience and affordability, eliminating the need for specialized equipment.
• Data Security: Ensures privacy by storing only anonymized performance metrics, not video data.

Validation and Results

A study with 20 participants demonstrated a 50% improvement in exercise validity when using ASSISLT, increasing success rates from 60% to 90%. The system proved effective in enhancing the quality and consistency of speech therapy exercises across various conditions and patient groups.
