The University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom has introduced an advanced AI collar device for stroke patients that can convert throat signals into natural and fluent speech.
According to research, the AI device, called ReVoice, is worn around the patient’s neck and captures speech-related signals along with signals from the heartbeat. These signals are then decoded using artificial intelligence, allowing words to be transformed into clear and fluent sentences.
The study results showed that the device achieved nearly 96 percent accuracy in word recognition and 97 percent accuracy in sentence recognition, marking a significant milestone for patients suffering from stroke or other neurological conditions.
The device can also recognize unspoken words and emotions expressed by the patient and convert them into sentences, enabling patients to participate in everyday conversations with confidence.
Scientists said that this technology will not only be beneficial for stroke patients but could also be useful in the future for Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders.
The ReVoice device is not only simple and comfortable but also suitable for daily use, offering patients an opportunity to rejoin their social and professional lives more effectively.
