A pilot validation study assessed the Eloquent digital speech therapy app for adults who stutter, demonstrating a 52.72% reduction in objective stuttering severity and a 33.55% improvement in self-reported communication confidence over a 15-day intervention. The app integrates evidence-based techniques with gamification to provide accessible, self-guided therapy.
Key insights
- Self-guided digital speech therapy applications can effectively deliver evidence-based interventions for stuttering, addressing both objective fluency and subjective communication attitudes.
- Integrating gamification and structured daily practice within a mobile app can foster user engagement and compliance with therapy protocols.
- The study suggests the potential for technology to provide accessible, scalable alternatives or complements to traditional speech-language pathology services.
