Description of MedConcerns
When it’s hard to get the words out, MedConcerns helps people with
aphasia and other communication disorders express their medical needs.
Because when communication is challenging, talking about health
concerns can feel impossible.
MedConcerns is an aphasia-friendly medical assessment that enables the
user to describe their medical concerns, restoring their ability to actively
participate in the conversation. Created by a speech-language pathologist
and physician team, MedConcerns combines a comprehensive medical
assessment with the strategies that help people with aphasia and other
communication difficulties understand information and clearly share their
concerns! Because the communication tools are built into the app, no
training is required to use this communication aid!
The MedConcerns app combines nonverbal symbols, spoken output, and
print to make patient-provider communication easier and more effective.
