SmallTalk Intensive Care 4.7

SmallTalk Intensive Care offers a visual vocabulary tailored to help patients articulate their needs and emotions while in an ICU setting. The application includes essential phrases like “I have chest pain” and “I want a doctor,” designed for immediate communication with medical staff.

This tool is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience speech difficulties due to strokes, but its utility extends to those with various language impairments, non-native speakers, or patients who are intubated or utilizing a tracheostomy tube.
