Potentially ground-breaking software that aids speech and language therapy in stroke sufferers is being piloted in Kingston.

The borough’s hospitals, stroke clubs and the acquired brain injury team at the Crescent Resource Centre, New Malden, have been chosen to pilot the technology.

The software will be unveiled at an event at 1.30pm on Tuesday, March 16, in the New Malden centre.

Lesley Dodd, principal manager for health and disability, who is hosting the event, said: “We are thrilled to be involved in this pilot which has the potential to make a big difference to residents who are recovering from a stroke or brain injury.”

Stroke survivors and family members are all invited to attend.
