Problems solved by technology

However, existing solutions face challenges in assessing optimal treatment by analyzing speech features alone, since there are no known symptoms of this type of disorder
[0013] In addition, traditional solutions cannot efficiently implement the various processes of fluency-shaping therapy
For example, such solutions do not provide any means to closely monitor patients practicing speech-motor skills and provide real-time feedback to patients and supervise treatment
As another example, a patient who has difficulty performing one of the exercises may feel frustrated, increasing the fear and anxiety associated with the patient's stuttering
