In this week’s episode, Dr Lillian Krikheli and Dr Sarah El Wahsh speak about all things voice banking. Sarah and Lillian discuss how to raise the topic of voice preservation, how to support your service user to select the best software for their needs, and what changes AI has facilitated in voice banking. Much of the content discussed in this podcast is informed by both clinical practice and co-design research conducted at the statewide progressive neurological disease service at Calvary Health Care Bethlehem (Melbourne). The research was supported by MND Victoria through the Ella Whaley Research Fund, along with internal funding from La Trobe University. A workshop based on this material was presented at the SPA 2025 Conference: Krikheli, L., El-Wahsh, S., Brooks, M., Jackson, N., & Jackson, N. (2025, June 13).
