6. Future Directions
The current study is the first step aimed to develop and enhance technology that improves patient outcomes through improved accessibility and breaking down barriers that affect therapeutic success. We received valuable feedback from our participants which will be incorporated into the next version of the app. Additionally, data collection is underway for a clinical trial investigating app-enhanced voice therapy and its effect on adherence and drop-out rates in the treatment-seeking clinical population. As we develop the app further, we hope to incorporate more evidence-based voice therapy interventions. It is important to acknowledge the success of other evidence-based voice therapy programs and include them in future versions of the app to ensure that the chosen voice intervention is tailored to patient needs.
