From concept to practice: a scoping review of the application of AI to aphasia diagnosis and management.

Considerable scope remains to align AI technology with aphasia rehabilitation to empower patient-centred, customised rehabilitation and enhanced self-management.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impacts everyday functioning due to impairments in speech, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing.Given this communication burden, researchers have focused on utilising artificial intelligence (AI) methods for assessment, therapy and self-management.From a conceptualisation era in the early 1940s, the application of AI has evolved with significant developments in AI applications at different points in time.Despite these developments, there are ample opportunities to exploit the use of AI to deliver more advanced applications in self-management and personalising care.
