Subject: [AUDITORY] Webinar with Prof. De Wet Swanepoel From: Steven Aiken <steve.aiken@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 15:09:42 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_YTXPR0101MB0800D4001B6261D4E62B84B6888F0YTXPR0101MB0800_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Date: May 22, 2018 at 12 p.m. ET WEBINAR ABSTRACT: Hearing loss is a pervasive chronic disability that affec= ts more than a billion people annually. Unsurprisingly, it is a leading con= tributor to the global burden of disease. Early access to hearing care is c= ritical for optimal outcomes, but for most of those affected it remains out= of reach. Novel solutions, capitalizing on advances in technology and conn= ectivity, demonstrate promise for increasing access and quality of care whi= lst reducing costs. The penetration and ubiquity of mobile phones, even in = developing countries, make connected technologies a powerful potential tool= for widespread impact. This presentation will consider two broad approaches to connected solutions= for hearing loss including an end-user consumer model and a point-of-care = diagnostic device operated by minimally trained facilitators. Learning points 1. Participants will be able to describe burden of hearing loss globally 2. Participants will be gain an understanding on how mHealth solutions c= an impact hearing care 3. Participants will be able to describe new community-based service-del= ivery models enabled by connected hearing care Speaker: Prof. De Wet Swanepoel, Ph.D. is professor in the Department of Sp= eech-Language Pathology and Audiology, University of Pretoria CAA is pleased to present this complimentary webinar for members and non-me= mbers of CAA.
