Constant Therapy has partnered with Burke Rehabilitation to introduce an AI-powered speech therapy programme in New York, US.
This care model integrates advanced AI technology into the Constant Therapy digital platform, providing patients with round-the-clock access to tailored therapies aimed at enhancing speech, language, and cognitive skills.
Burke Rehabilitation Outpatient Services vice-president Steven Tisser said: “As a proud pioneer of innovation in the physical and medical rehabilitation industry, Burke Rehabilitation is always in pursuit of cutting-edge treatments and technologies that support our patients’ recovery goals.
“We are proud to be the first in the state to bring AI-driven cognitive and speech therapy tools to our network of patients and caregivers. This relationship with Constant Therapy will undoubtedly support our patients’ evolving needs on their individualised care journeys.”
Patients at Burke Rehabilitation will receive a three-month complimentary subscription to the Constant Therapy mobile app, allowing them to continue their speech and cognitive therapy programmes outside of their clinical appointments.
This initiative is designed to support the recovery goals of individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke and brain injuries, and to enhance their clinical outcomes.
The collaboration is an expansion of a successful pilot programme within Burke's Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program (ICAP), where participants utilised Constant Therapy in conjunction with traditional rehabilitation methods.
A separate assessment with 37 Burke Rehabilitation participants who leveraged the Constant Therapy app at home during post-acute care demonstrated the advantages of digital resources in supporting speech and cognitive rehabilitation.
This encompassed an extra 226,921 therapeutic tasks undertaken at home over one year, a 17% average increase in task precision, and an average boost of 64% in the speed of task execution.
Constant Therapy co-founder and CEO Veera Anantha said: “We at Constant Therapy are excited to join forces with Burke Rehabilitation, a nationally acclaimed leader in patient care.
“By integrating our AI technology, Burke is setting a new standard in speech therapy and cognitive rehabilitation unmatched in New York.”
