METHODS AND DEVICES FOR SCREENING SWALLOWING IMPAIRMENT

An integrated device for screening swallowing safety and swallowing efficiency can (i) receive first vibrational data for a first set of swallowing events executed successively by a first individual, (ii) compare at least a portion of the first vibrational data and/or at least a portion of second vi...

Zusammenfassung:An integrated device for screening swallowing safety and swallowing efficiency can (i) receive first vibrational data for a first set of swallowing events executed successively by a first individual, (ii) compare at least a portion of the first vibrational data and/or at least a portion of second vibrational data derived from the first vibrational data against preset classification criteria defined for each of swallowing safety and swallowing efficiency, (iii) assign a swallowing safety probability and a swallowing efficiency probability to each of the first plurality of swallowing events, (iv) determine a swallowing safety classification based at least partially on the swallowing safety probability of each of the first plurality of swallowing events and (v) determine a swallowing efficiency classification based at least partially on the swallowing efficiency probability of each of the first plurality of swallowing events.
