Abstract
This paper outlines the potential challenges of adopting digital solutions for treating patients with aphasia. Current research has focused on the use of non-immersive Virtual Reality (VR) approach to therapy, and the outcome of their evaluation with people with aphasia has been promising. There is currently no research on the effect of using fully immersive VR technology as a digital therapy solution for people with aphasia. This paper aims to fill that gap by proposing the integration of Immersive VR with an appropriate Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered voice recognition model in creating a digital therapy solution for people with aphasia. The authors hoped that this application will ease the workload of the speech therapist and will enhance the long-term recovery process for people with aphasia.
