Bilingual Talking Touchscreen Expanded for New Uses

The Talking Touchscreen® (La Patalla Parlanchina in Spanish) is an AHRQ-funded multimedia health information technology tool. It was originally developed as a user-friendly way of assessing patient-reported outcomes. The technology has since been used in a variety of ways. 

• Health LiTT (Health Literacy Assessment Using Talking Touchscreen Technology) is a measure of health literacy that uses the The Talking Touchscreen to administer the assessment in a manner acceptable to patients with varying literacy skills and computer experience.
• The Talking Touchscreen and Health LiTT have been incorporated into the Assessment Center, a free online research management center that helps researchers obtain study-specific websites for obtaining participant data.
• The CancerHelp Talking Touchscreen® and DiabetesHelp Talking Touchscreen® have been integrated with the CancerHelp Institute’s patient education programs in English and Spanish.
