Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney are using ChatGPT and AI to support stroke survivors with aphasia, a language disorder affecting communication.
Nathan Johnston, a stroke survivor, has improved his communication using ChatGPT, moving from single-word messages to composing texts and emails.
Students at UTS assist Johnston in using ChatGPT during therapy sessions to create more complex and meaningful messages, marking significant progress for aphasia patients.
While AI tools like ChatGPT offer great potential in improving communication for individuals with aphasia, challenges exist, such as adapting to polished tones and ensuring accessibility for all users.
