MAAC Aphasia Support Group with Special Guests Hilary Sample MA, CCC SLP and Steven Leeds Richman, MA, MD
The MedConcerns app was jointly developed by a speech language pathologist and physician who work regularly with brain injury, stroke, and other diagnoses that often result in communication difficulties. Through their combined experience, they recognized a need to support their fellow healthcare providers and their patients in communicating clearly regarding medical concerns. Research shows healthcare providers have a strong desire to communicate with their patients who have aphasia or other communication impairments, but are frequently frustrated by the limitations of verbal communication and simple communication boards. Together they set off on a path to bridge this gap, and the MedConcerns app was created.
