Mobile application providing environmental awareness for hearing-impaired individuals
- 總結
- The increasing prevalence of smart phone and tablet technology has stimulated a thriving sector of software development. Several health-related applications have been developed to aid consumers with a variety of conditions, from obesity to mental health. Hearing-impaired individuals may also benefit from this new technology, as the auditory sensors embedded in these products provide a reliable mechanism to receive vital auditory information. Currently, there is no application designed to assist hearing-impaired individuals in emergency situations, where the recognition of key sounds can be crucial. This technology is a smartphone application that continuously operates to identify important sounds, such as a fire alarm, and alerts the user when appropriate.
