Speak Well

好好説話

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. The patient’s memory and cognitive ability deteriorate progressively over time. Patients in the middle stage are more likely to have a speech impairment, which significantly impacts their quality of life. “Speak Well” is a set of communication tools designed specifically for patients in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s. It covers over 60 of the most frequently used words in daily life. Through interactive devices, simplify communication with carers and encourage them to talk more. It allows patients to maintain dignity during complex journeys, and carers learn to accept their patients’ imperfections.
