Converse Healthcare Ltd

Converse Healthcare is a leading medical device company addressing unmet clinical needs of patients globally by developing and commercialising a range of disposable innovative medical devices. The highly experienced team is formed with clinicians - who are actively practising and using their medical expertise to help patients address their hypernasal speech on a daily basis – where other treatment options are unavailable, have failed or are unsuitable. With origins from renowned centres of excellence Oxford University Hospital and Salisbury NHS Trust (Spires Cleft Centre) in the UK, we have worked collaboratively with international leading plastic & reconstructive surgeons and speech therapists / speech pathologists to develop the premier daily disposable nasal obturator - designed to serve the millions of patients that are currently untreated, from children to adults. Cleara Talk™ (https://youtu. be /n9MBPFH6KmQ ) is a first in class product designed by clinicians to be used by patients as a daily-disposable device (like daily disposable contact lens) to help hypernasal speech /VPD speech become more normal. It is estimated that this affects more than 50M people globally - children (cleft palate, cerebral palsy) and significant number of adults who have suffered from Stroke, Parkinson's disease, MND, MS, Oral Head & neck Cancer and Brain Injury and consequently developed hypernasal speech. Once placed in the nostril this discreet device can help many patients increase the strength and resonance of their speech - allowing for more confident verbal communication. While a patient's primary disorder may have many physical symptoms (e. g. weakness on one side of the body after a stroke, tremors in Parkinson's or impaired speech after surgery (Cleft repair) or cancer treatment), improving communication through clearer and less laboured speech can have a profound positive impact on the individual's wellbeing and their loved ones.
