Urgent Call Requests
High-priority icons allow patients to request a family contact or alert a supervisor if they feel at risk.
Why It Works
Minimized Cognitive Load
SET Board utilizes a grayscale visual system for its primary communication icons to reduce unnecessary stimulation. This evidence-based approach helps patients, particularly those experiencing neurological compromise, sensory sensitivity, or extreme fatigue, maintain focus on the communication task without being overwhelmed by visual noise.
Critical Signal Prioritization
Selective color is applied strategically to the pain scale and urgent call icons. By using rapid signal recognition, this design ensures that the most critical clinical indicators and urgent patient actions are prioritized, enabling clinicians to identify and respond to life-altering needs with immediate clarity.
Icon-Driven Interface
SET Board leverages an intuitive, icon-driven interface that aligns with universal design standards. This eliminates barriers related to language, literacy levels, and cognitive impairments, ensuring effective, dignified communication across diverse patient populations and healthcare systems worldwide.

FAQ
What is the SET Board interface designed to do?
The SET Board interface is designed to help patients communicate clearly and quickly, even when speaking or typing is difficult. It combines visual tools, symbols, and writing areas to support a wide range of communication needs in healthcare settings.
What types of pain assessment tools are included?
The board includes a comprehensive pain scale that combines three methods of evaluation:
- Numeric scale (numbers to rate pain)
- Categorical color-based scale (visual color indicators)
- Verbal descriptors (words describing pain levels)
This integrated approach helps patients communicate pain in the way that is easiest and most accurate for them.
How does the Alphabet & Number Board help patients communicate?
The Alphabet & Number Board is arranged for easier recall, allowing patients to point to letters or numbers to spell words or indicate specific values. This format is especially helpful for children, individuals who cannot type, or patients with limited mobility.
Is there space for patients to express complex information?
Yes. The board includes a Free Writing Space where patients can write notes, draw diagrams, or illustrate symptoms that may be difficult to describe using words alone.
How can patients request urgent help?
The board includes high-priority urgent call icons that allow patients to quickly:
- Request contact with a family member
- Alert a supervisor or caregiver if they feel unsafe or at risk
These icons ensure critical requests can be communicated immediately.
What are the Communication Cards and Body Diagram used for?
The board features high-contrast communication icons representing eight essential needs such as food, water, and toileting. It also includes a dual-view body diagram that allows patients to point to specific areas of discomfort or symptoms, helping clinicians identify issues more precisely.
Why does the SET Board use mostly grayscale icons?
The board uses a grayscale visual system for primary communication icons to minimize cognitive load. This design reduces unnecessary visual stimulation, helping patients—especially those experiencing neurological impairment, sensory sensitivity, or fatigue—focus on communicating effectively.
Why are certain elements highlighted with color?
Selective color is used for pain scales and urgent call icons to prioritize critical signals. This helps clinicians quickly recognize urgent patient needs and respond promptly.
How does the icon-based design improve communication?
The icon-driven interface follows universal design principles, making it accessible to people regardless of language, literacy level, or cognitive ability. This ensures patients from diverse backgrounds can communicate clearly and maintain dignity in healthcare environments.
Global Reach
Available in multiple languages, the board is adapted for diverse patient populations in the U.S. and around the world.
