ORACIA
Aphasia is an acquired disorder of language that affects an individual’s comprehension and expression across the range of modes of communication (listening, reading, speaking, writing, gesture and calculation). Aphasia is common in older adult patients in the context of vascular or neurodegenerative disorders. Effective rehabilitation for aphasia is vital to recovery. ORACIA is engaging therapists and people with aphasia above 60 years old to develop this new digital therapeutic solution. ORACIA’s main innovation and main technology developments will include a clinic backend for semi-automatic rehabilitation prescription with simultaneously integrated and combined cognition, speech and functional motor training exercises, exercises feedback and remote consultation, an artificial companion & coach that will be provided as a human-like virtual agent to mediate rehabilitation exercises, through visual, semantic and phonetic queues, and will be delivered as modular device that can be used at clinic and at home.
