Abstract
New technology promises high potential for empowerment and training in the health area. Effectiveness of training, however, is based upon realiable and frequent usage of technology. To achieve this goal we propose an approach based upon psychological models of motivation, namely self-determination theory. Using the example of patients with acquired speech motor impairments as dysarthria due to Parkinson’s disease, we outline design strategies for tailored and adaptive technology that is embedded in speech therapy and allows for autonomous usage. “ISi-Speech” profits from an interdisciplinary team of technicians, speech therapists and psychologists who were recently funded by the German ministry of Education and Research to build a digital training system for treatment of dysarthria. End users will be involved into design and formative evaluation processes.
