Augmented communication using customized, crowdsourced cards – Free Talk and Play app and marketplace tested with encouraging results!
When a person has communication and mobility issues at the same time (a condition that is very common after a stroke, for example), an electronic communication system with cards and sounds can be very helpful. SciFY has created the “Talk and Play” app already used in Greece by major disability institutions to help people with such problems communicate and improve their cognitive functions using specially designed games.
Within SHAPES, we HAVE made a giant leap forward: we have crowdsourced the creation of new content. A new Talk and Play marketplace is ready, where anyone can download the app, create and upload their own communication and game cards and offer them back to the whole community!
The app and the marketplace were tested by real end-users and assessed in collaboration with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and the feedback we got was very positive!
Talk and Play is free to use. Occupational therapists and carers can download the app by clicking here!
