RITESpeech: Real-time Interactive Therapy & Evaluation for Speech Rehabilitation

[1] As per the 2011 census, 7% of the disabled population in India suffer from speech disability and 69% of this population dwells in rural areas. Majority of the persons with speech disability are either unaware of rehabilitation options or are unable to avail rehabilitation. Our innovation addresses the skewed ratio of patients to speech language pathologists which is crucial for the rehabilitation of these patients.[2] It increases the reach and efficiency of speech language pathologists by virtue of being remote and asynchronous. [3] It is envisioned to reduce the overall therapy time. Speech can span across months or years. Correct and timely practice and interventions are crucial for the same. Our platform facilitates this process.[4] Allows a patient or care giver to administer self evaluation which serves as a quick screening mechanism. The instant feedback on weather professional help should be sought eliminates the tediousness of the face-to-face screening process.
