"Revolutionary Self-Powered Throat Patch Restores Speech with AI Stickers"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Livescience.com
A new self-powered throat patch has been developed that can detect neck muscle movements and translate them into speech, potentially helping people with vocal cord damage or paralysis communicate. The patch harnesses movement to generate electricity, eliminating the need for a battery, and uses a machine-learning algorithm to translate muscle movements into speech. While promising, the patch is still in early stages of development and needs further testing. If successful, it could offer a more convenient and less invasive alternative to existing assistive technologies for speech disorders.
