aceAn artificial intelligence-based audio recognition system for dysarthria home-based rehabilitation: A proof-of-concept study
Author summary Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder characterized by muscle problems which result in unclear or slurred speech. This disorder affects millions of people worldwide. Effective treatment requires intensive and frequent rehabilitation sessions with speech therapists, who provide personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to each individual dysarthria severity. However, speech therapy currently faces several major challenges, including high costs, low adherence rates, and limited therapist availab…
Whisper-ST1 graded dysarthria severity at speaker level with 83% accuracy, closely matching expert therapists, which could support remote speech therapy once further validated.
The result is a proof-of-concept with a very wide confidence interval, and the authors state that further clinical validation is needed before app integration.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2121 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
