Digital technologies continue to help improve the lives of stroke victims and
others. O'Brien Technologies is finalizing design of a speech-generating
device that will assist those who can't speak. The handheld devices are
designed to assist speech language pathologists and other health care
professionals who treat individuals with severe communication disabilities.
The devices can be customized to supplement communication for many users.
O'Brien is working closely with the Kessler Foundation, a public charity
