Mobile app for assessing and rehabilitating oral-motor functions in stroke patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to create a database of oral-motor and speech functions in post-stroke patients using an artificial intelligence-powered mobile health application. It will assess oral-facial movements in both neurologically healthy adults and stroke patients through instrumental and behavioral evaluations. The study will also explore the relationship between image-based analysis of oral-facial functions and assessments made by speech-language therapists. The research is conducted in Hong Kong and focuses on Cantonese-speaking participants.
