EMG Voice Restoration
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental System: MyoVoice and Reference System: Electrolarynx for Rehabilitation of Speech and Language Disorders and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will evaluate the ability of MyoVoice to replace natural speech. Referred to generally as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, MyoVoice uses electrical signals recorded non-invasively from speech muscles (electromyographic, or EMG, signals) to restore communication for those with vocal impairments that resulted from surgical treatment of laryngeal and oropharyngeal cancers.

Timeline
Interventions
Person-centric augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system comprising a user-specific set of wearable sensors for capturing articulatory muscle activity and mobile software that provides real-time audible speech outputs.
Hand-operated electromechanical device that operates as an artificial larynx to enable a person after laryngectomy to produce speech.
