Abstract
A computerized system and method of improving a speech therapy process include receiving a signal representing an utterance spoken by the patient, determining a first score reflecting a correlation of the signal and a patient acoustic model, determining a second score reflecting a correlation of the signal and the reference acoustic model, determining a progress metric reflecting a difference between the first score and the second score and responsively providing in real-time an indication of progress to the patient, wherein the indication is presented in at least one of an audio and a visual manner.
Claims9
A computing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the computing system to implement a method of speech therapy assessment comprising:
- training a first acoustic model according to speech of a patient;
- training a second acoustic model according to speech of a reference speaker;
- receiving a signal representing an utterance spoken by the patient;
- determining a first score reflecting a correlation of the signal and the first speech recognition acoustic model;
- determining a second score reflecting a correlation of the signal and the second speech recognition acoustic model;
- determining a progress metric reflecting a relationship between the first score and the second score;
- and,
- responsively to the progress metric, providing in real-time an indication of progress to the patient, wherein the indication is presented in at least one of an audio and a visual manner.
A computing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the computing system to implement a method of modifying a speech therapy protocol, comprising:
- creating a custom protocol to guide an interactive, automated, speech therapy session of a patient;
- monitoring behavior parameters of the patient during the speech therapy session;
- determining that one or more of the behavior parameters meets a predefined behavior threshold requiring a protocol intervention;
- and
- making the protocol intervention, comprising modifying a visual or audio output to the patient.
A computing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the computing system to implement a method of improving a speech therapy analytics engine comprising:
- creating an analytics engine comprising a set of rules that correlate multiple sets of speech impairments to protocols of automated speech therapy;
- applying the set of rules to a set of speech impairments for a given patient to generate a custom protocol of automated speech therapy for the given patient;
- monitoring a metric of progress of the given patient during one or more speech therapy sessions automated by the custom protocol;
- and,
- responsively to the metric of progress, modifying the set of rules of the analytics engine.
