At Stevn Technologies AB, we believe communication is the cornerstone of exceptional patient care. Talk2Care, developed in collaboration with Odense University Hospital (OUH) in Denmark, is a groundbreaking Talking Aid app designed to bridge the communication gap for intubated patients. By addressing the unique challenges faced by voiceless patients, Talk2Care transforms healthcare practices, improves patient outcomes, and enhances the overall caregiving experience.
The Challenge
Intubated patients, especially those in intensive care units (ICUs), face profound communication barriers, leaving them unable to express their needs, concerns, or discomfort. Historically, patients on ventilators were kept in artificial comas to aid recovery, but pioneering practices at OUH have shown that avoiding such comas leads to:
- Shorter ventilator use durations
- Reduced hospitalization times
Despite these advancements, the lack of effective communication tools for conscious but intubated patients has persisted, causing frustration for patients, families, and healthcare professionals alike.
Introducing Talk2Care; Its a state-of-the-art communication aid that empowers intubated patients, enabling them to interact with caregivers and loved ones effectively. Through innovative features like pre-programmed questions and answers, this app ensures seamless, meaningful communication in even the most challenging situations.
Key Features
