MEDD950 Високотехнологична медицина и обществено здраве
Анотация:
Over the past decade, speech and language therapy has taken an interesting turn towards the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the diagnosis of disorders and the delivery of therapy. In many cases, ICTs have worked as assassinative tools for therapists, while in others they have been sole providers of therapy, especially in remote areas. In this course, we provide a brief overview of the most representative technologies, solutions and research articles for applications and assistive technologies used for assessment and intervention purposes in speech therapy according to the type of disorder.
Telehealth, as a provision of health care at a distance through the use of ICT, has also found its application in speech-language pathology (SLP) services. There are many advantages to remote usage of SLP services, like extending the treatment or reaching remotely located people who need a treatment at an affordable cost. While in developed countries SLP telepractice is becoming common, there is little evidence about their usage in transitional and developing countries. The course provides insights into the profiles of the SLPs and their patients, regarding their computer literacy as well as their needs andpreferences in using remote speech-language services.
