Associate Professor Eva van Leer published an article in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology entitled, “Effect of an iOS App on Voice Therapy Adherence and Motivation,” with former GSU student Brittney Lewis and programmer Nick Porcaro as co-authors.
Study results showed that patient practice of voice therapy homework is doubled when patients are provided with reminders, examples and feedback through an iOS app developed in Dr. van Leer’s laboratory.
The work was funded by the NIH’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders via the RO3 mechanism, and among other aspects of the project, supported multiple GSU Graduate Research Assistantships over the course of several years.
