Jellow Care
Introduction
Jellow Care is an Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) app for people with speech and communication difficulties. It uses pictures, text and sound to enable speech.
This app provides an immediate assistance in communication for people with aphasia and those suffering from a stroke. Jellow Care allows them to express their thoughts, needs and wants, thus helps them to feel socially included and empowers them.
This application provides predefined expressive sentences that can be used by patients (Stroke & Aphasia) to communicate during their stay at the hospital and also during their recovery at home. Moreover, this application allows a simple yes or no, single touch communication which makes it easier to bridge the communication gap between the patient and their caregiver, as the patient can convey their needs effectively.
The current version of the app allows the user to choose languages such as English, Hindi and Marathi. In addition, the 'keyboard' feature can be used to speak out words and sentences apart from those in the app.
