IT challenges of speech therapy and physiotherapy of the oral-facial tract

Abstract

Speech therapy and physiotherapy of the oro-facial tract can already be effectively supported by IT solutions, both in the area of diagnosis and therapy. However, this requires an integrated approach based on interdisciplinary cooperation between speech therapists, physiotherapists and computer scientists. The aim of the article is to assess the extent to which current IT capabilities are used to support diagnostics and therapy in speech therapy and physiotherapy in the oro-facial tract and to determine the potential for their further stimulated development.
