Signvrse utilizes AI (Computer Vision) ,NLP and automated 3D technology to interpret text and speech, creating lifelike sign language avatars with real-time precision. Unlike conventional methods, Signvrse focuses on capturing intricate facial expressions, providing a more immersive and inclusive communication experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The mental health challenges faced by the Deaf community are significant, yet often overlooked. Studies have shown that Deaf individuals are at a higher risk of experiencing mental health issues compared to the general population. Limited Access to Mental Health Services - Deaf individuals often face barriers in accessing mental health services due to communication barriers and a lack of qualified interpreters or therapists proficient in sign language. Patients have individual differences, needs, preferences, and cultural differences. Some patients may prefer a remote interpreter, others face-to-face interpreting – and these preferences may also depend on the type of appointment. What’s important is that Deaf patients have choice, and that new services, such as through the use of new technologies, are offered in addition to, not instead of, established health services. Signvrse can play a crucial role in improving the mental well-being of the Deaf community by providing accessible and culturally sensitive mental health resources, therapy sessions, and support networks tailored to their unique needs.
