Description: Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) Coach, Clinician Edition, is a bundled technology that includes the LSVT Coach software and a calibrated microphone for collecting data from speech therapy assessment and treatment sessions for clients with Parkinson`s Disease and other neurological conditions. LSVT is designed to improve vocal loudness by stimulating the muscles of the voice box (larynx) and speech mechanism through a systematic hierarchy of exercises to bring the voice to an improved, healthy vocal loudness with no strain.

This technology is available in two editions, Clinician Edition and Client Edition. This entry covers both editions.
Note: This assessment does not include the Home Edition of this system, which can be purchased separately and used by clients at home to augment the in-person treatment sessions.

This technology does not utilize a database as data is stored on the user`s local drive.

The LSVT Companion System is licensed for use by a single clinician. A clinician must be LSVT LOUD Certified to use this product.

Note: This technology was rebranded from LSVT Companion System to LSVT Coach.

Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
