Telea, a start-up company based in University College Cork, offers speech technology to help patients with Parkinson’s Disease maintain their voice and slow down the progression of the disease. Co-founded by a speech and language therapist and a software engineer, Telea’s digital therapy platform and app connects Speech and Language Therapists with Parkinson’s patients for remote monitoring and treatment. The platform has shown promising results in a pilot study, with improvements in voice quality, reduced waiting times for therapy, increased exercise adherence, and overall positive feedback from both patients and therapists. The technology aims to improve communication abilities and enhance vocal strength in people with Parkinson’s Disease.
