This article explores the existing research evidence on the potential effectiveness of lipreading as a communication strategy to enhance speech recognition in individuals with hearing impairment. A scoping review was conducted, involving a search of six electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Engineering Village, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) for research papers published between January 2013 and June 2023. This study included original research papers with full texts available in English, covering all study designs: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.

The integration of artificial intelligence into daily life significantly enhances the autonomy and quality of life of visually impaired individuals. This paper introduces the Visual Impairment Spatial Awareness (VISA) system, designed to holistically assist visually impaired users in indoor activities through a structured, multi-level approach. At the foundational level, the system employs augmented reality (AR) markers for indoor positioning, neural networks for advanced object detection and tracking, and depth information for precise object localization.

The study examined the relationships between specific Theory-of-Mind (ToM) dimensions, cognitive planning, and sleep duration in aging adults. The sample included 179 participants, comprising 46 cognitively healthy individuals, 75 diagnosed with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI), and 58 with non-amnestic (naMCI). The mean age of the participants was 70.

Introduction: In the field of medical listening assessments,accurate transcription and effective cognitive load management are critical for enhancing healthcare delivery. Traditional speech recognition systems, while successful in general applications often struggle in medical contexts where the cognitive state of the listener plays a significant role. These conventional methods typically rely on audio-only inputs and lack the ability to account for the listener's cognitive load, leading to reduced accuracy and effectiveness in complex medical environments.
