Voice Biomarkers for Stroke Diagnosis and Therapy

  • Description: Stroke rehabilitation is a complex process consisting of numerous treatment modules. In this work, we aim at diagnosing possible stroke-related language pathologies (e.g. aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia) by analyzing spoken language. Resulting symptoms should be detected with high accuracy. Based on this, appropriate mobile treatment procedures are to be developed and tested on patients.

Smart Operation Room Speech Assistant

  • Description: While previous researches in intelligent smart operation room assistance systems investigate signal and video clip-based surgical activity detection, a new kind of voice-based approach is able to unite all available information.
