Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an auxiliary communication system for patients with difficulty in responding. Background technique [0002] A patient with difficulty in responding refers to a patient who has normal thinking ability, but is difficult to respond to the communication initiated by the outside world due to neurological diseases, and it is difficult to express their thoughts and emotions to the outside world. At present, the main patients with difficult response are as follows.

The main symptoms are: clear consciousness, able to understand other people's speech, understand questions, and answer with open or closed eyes or eye movements; quadriplegia, positive bilateral pathological reflexes; ability to perceive painful stimuli and sounds, and normal hearing, Occasionally, th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The thinking activities of patients with difficulty in responding are all normal, but they cannot communicate with the outside world, especially with family members and medical staff, which has a great negative impact on the patient's mental state, and the patient cannot intervene in the treatment process, deepening the patient's anxiety. At the same time, because the family members are completely unable to understand the patient's thoughts, it will also cause serious emotional trauma to the family members

[0007] In the prior art, in order to help patients with difficulty in responding to communicate with their family members or medical staff, the method of writing by the patient is usually used. Although it can assist the patient to express, there are still obvious defects

One is that only a small number of patients with milder conditions can still write with their hands, and those with locked-in syndrome have no writing ability at all; the other is that the written characters of patients have very low recognition and are difficult to understand due to impaired physical function; Third, some patients have limited education and cannot express themselves in words
