Summary

To address the needs of the many patients who cannot access the standard nurse call systems Iowa Adaptive Technologies has developed the Noddle, a smart switch that can take the smallest intentional gesture a patient can make (e.g. tongue click, wink) and allow the patient to access the nurse call system and control a speech-generating device. This study will assess how patients and their nurses as well as family members perceive the impact of having a device that would allow them to summon the nurse and to be able to effectively communicate. Patients will be provided a Noddle and will be free to use it as much or a little as they like during their hospitalization. Patients will either use the Noddle just to access the nurse call system or they will use it to access the nurse call system and a speech-generating device. Patients, nurses and family members will be asked to complete an exit questionnaire prior to discharge from the hospital.
