MEDCONCERNS GIVES PATIENTS WITH APHASIA THEIR VOICES BACK!
A physician skilled at completing medical assessments had no training in supported communication.
A speech-language pathologist trained in using communication supports wanted to help.
They combined their skills to create MedConcerns, an aphasia-friendly medical assessment!
Healthcare providers want to improve the quality of care for patients with aphasia. Most providers do not receive adequate training to meet unique communication needs. The MedConcerns app provides healthcare professionals with built-in communication tools. With MedConcerns serving as interpreter, providers can better understand patients with aphasia and uncover medical problems easier and faster. The MedConcerns app can restore the connection between patients with aphasia and their providers.
Mary had been living with aphasia for years, and frequently felt frustrated and overwhelmed during medical appointments. She tried to communicate her healthcare needs, like pain and discomfort, but struggled to find the words. It was always hard for others to understand what she was trying to say.
Dr. Smith learned of a novel solution to his problem when a colleague introduced him to the MedConcerns App – an app designed specifically for patients and providers who have trouble communicating due to communication impairments! It provides simple, easy-to-understand visuals and language that Mary could use to express herself and communicate her discomfort clearly and easily.
