Thanks to the intensive care team @addenbrookes - Tim,Vilas and Nikki...filming a brilliant device that helps patients speak (film going out in next few days)the docs say it’s taught them so much about how patients are feeling while in intensive care...things they hadn’t realised
The last 8 min of this is me describing why @myicuvoice is more than just a communication tool and why we think it is so important to continue developing it to make a real difference to patient care in ICU - Bloomberg Westminster: https://t.co/0ImeDPOLX2
This app was already under development by an anaesthetist at Addenbrooke's and has been invaluable in helping the recovery of #COVID19 patients.
Imagine being conscious, but ventilated and unable to communicate properly?

@CUH_NHS
There are so many people to thank in making #myICUvoice possible, as @DrTBaker said, doctors, nurses, speech and language therapists, all the way through to a cultural anthropologist, we couldnt do it without all your help. A sincere thank you to everyone!!
If you missed our broadcast on @BBCCambs this morning, don't worry - you can listen to @DrTBaker telling the myICUvoice story, what inspired it and more here: https://t.co/1OOFb35OUm
HUGE THANK YOU to @maryannclaridge@pclaridge at @mandrelsystems - so many (!!!) late nights, early mornings and so much patience working with me having to work unusual hours
We received a grant from @ACTcharity to get us on our feet, and since then we have had help and support from many volunteers. We would like to say a special thank you to @MeantimeMediaCo for their animation services and @MandrelSystems systems our wonderful software developers.
@DrTBaker developed #myICUvoice after recognising the urgent need for his patients to communicate their symptoms and emotions when they were unable to speak. Have you or a family member been in ICU and felt like you couldn’t communicate? What do you think of our app? #replytweet
I have spent years working closely with patients, relatives and nurses to understand the interactions between them so understand this more than most. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for the care you did, do and will continue to provide. With sincerity - Thank you
Very pleased to announce - myICUvoice is now available for free on the App Store. A simple communication tool for ventilated ICU patients combined with a database to ensures nurses are able to target and monitor effective treatments... https://t.co/f5A0MUxIl7
