Q: app for intubated patients, not able to hold a pen
I'm in the difficult situation of trying to communicate with my mother who is intubated and not strong enough to hold a pen.
First thought was to try to create something using HTML, which would be a struggle but doable with time.
Is there an app (or anything else in the world for that matter) which would allow me to create questions or statements, and possible have a text to voice feature added.
They would need to be very large "buttons" such as "hurt", leading to a selection of "leg", which leads to "moderate" etc...
other questons of "tell" - "nurse" - "suction"
"ask" "dad" "about" "something"
An alphabetical keyboard (not querty) with VERY large buttons would might be usable, but doubt it.
I have a hard time believing this hasn't already been done and made freely available.
If such a thing exists, please share. I don't write code, but have created simple pages using html I have written from scratch. I don't know programming languages.
I'm adept at using a unix terminal, not so much with simple point and click interfaces.
