We have been revising the VINI app via the feedback we have received from the testing participants, making it more interactive. Will attach a few examples of our programmer working on fitting in the personalized avatar that will be incorporated.
Rethinking Patient-Provider Care through Visual Communication
Published in Visual Communication by Sage Publishing
John Velez delivered a presentation at the Brian Lamb School of Communication at Purdue University, broadly covering the results of the VINI pilot study.
This is exciting that our first peer reviewed article will be published soon. As I was the artist for our Visual Interactive Narrative Intervention, I directed my writing efforts how we created the VINI and the thought and design processes behind it. Dr. Velez, Corwin and Keene are the co-writers on the piece and it would not be at this point with out all of their contributions, corrections and critiques.

I must say that I really underestimated just how difficult this would be. I’d rather get back to drawing!!
Dr. Melinda Corwin, TTU-HSC is at the Aphasia Institute in Toronto for 5 days of intensive training. The training is for healthcare professionals who work with persons with aphasia and their families.
Aphasia team member, Dr. John Velez, currently at the Media School at Indiana University was interviewed about the VINI (Visual Interactive Narrative Intervention).
The Media School, IU Bloomington, IN
Dr. Melinda Corwin and I gave a public presentation about our arts in medicine project. Here is the video that we used to interact with bystanders. We interviewed almost 200 people and 80% of them had no idea what aphasia was. So our education ap that we are developing will be useful for not only person’s with aphasia to inform them about their condition, but also the public as well.
Dr. Melinda Corwin, TTUHSC, and Professor Stacy Elko, TTUSOA gave a public presentation of the VINI at the LHUCA (Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts). They engaged the public as to their knowledge of aphasia.
