The Presence Medicine Approach for Aphasia Recovery
by Jindal Neurology, Inc.
The Presence Medicine Approach is a model of physician care for people with aphasia, centered on sustained, unhurried attention. Rooted in narrative medicine and the social model of disability, it recognizes that standard medical encounters often structurally exclude patients with communication disabilities.
By providing extended physician presence and communication accessibility, this approach supports patient-driven recovery and meaningful participation in life.
Current Research
Dr. Jindal collaborates on research in two areas at the intersection of artificial intelligence and clinical medicine: AI-enabled augmented reality for stroke rehabilitation, and the evaluation and deployment of large language models in healthcare.
This work has produced publications in Nature Medicine, NEJM AI, JAMIA, and AAAI, among others.
