Integrated Platform for Computer Assisted Rehabilitation for Romanian Aphasia Impaired Patients

Abstract

This paper presents an interdisciplinary approach for creating an innovative computer-based platform for the rehabilitation of aphasia patients, dedicated to the Romanian language and culture. Aphasia is a neurological disorder of speech, with moderate to severe dysfunction of the mechanisms involved in language expression and understanding, affecting a large population of patients. With a wide area of symptoms, it leads to an important decrease in the patients’ quality of life and social functioning. Due to the high costs, long-term duration and lack of accessibility of the classical methods of recovery, our goal is to develop a more user-friendly, multimedia, software-based solution to aid in the rehabilitation of aphasia- related symptoms. Integrating a computerized system as a treatment option for aphasia provides several advantages and benefits, from medical, technical and social perspectives.
