Description
Emily J Rogalski and five co-authors report a global telehealth trial in this 2025 paper. The trial served people with primary progressive aphasia, a rare dementia that harms speech and language. Care came by video chat, so patients joined from home with a communication partner. One group got a joint program built on taking part in daily talk. The other group got a solo program built on word drills.
Ninety-five pairs took part across four countries, and fewer than one in ten dropped out. After the first block, the joint group beat the control group on a goal based participation score. Both groups gained on word and script tasks. Talks after the study showed the format was easy to use at home. The team sees telehealth as a real path to bring this care to more families.
