Digital support in aphasia and apraxia of speech therapy using the example of the neolexon therapy system

摘要

Digital applications can significantly improve the treatment of patients with aphasia and apraxia of speech. On the one hand, they can increase therapy frequency to a considerable extent. On the other hand, digital support systems may improve the individualization of speech materials. Therefore, the neolexon therapy system was developed by the working group "Entwicklungsgruppe Klinische Neuropsychologie." From a database of currently more than 7,500 words, therapists can create individual word sets for every patient according to linguistic difficulty and relevance to the patient. These word sets can be practiced during therapy sessions using a therapy app. I addition, the selected materials can be transferred to an easy-to-use patient app, allowing patients to continue training independently at home.
