The videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is the gold standard for diagnosing dysphagia, but its interpretation is time-consuming and requires expertise. This study developed a deep learning model for automatically detecting penetration and aspir...
Digital cervical auscultation (CA) has high diagnostic test accuracy in the detection of aspiration in children. However, the clinical application of digital CA is limited because swallow sound recordings require manual segmentation by trained expert...
Feeding efficiency and safety are often driven by bolus volume, which is one of the most common clinical measures of assessing swallow performance. However, manual measurement of bolus area is time-consuming and suffers from high levels of inter-rate...
Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) is considered the gold standard for diagnosing swallowing disorders, or dysphagia. However, the interpretation of VFSS is susceptible to human bias and subjectivity, resulting in significant inter- and intra-...

Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) signals in assessi...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are mainly evaluated with high-resolution manometry (HRM) which is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure with potential adverse events. Acoustic characterization of the swallowing has the potential to ...
Soft robots spark a revolution in human-machine interaction. However, developing high-performance soft actuators remains challenging due to trade-offs among output force, driving distance, control precision, safety, and compliance. Here, addressing t...
Dysphagia, a disorder affecting the ability to swallow, has a high prevalence among the older adults and can lead to serious health complications. Therefore, early detection of dysphagia is important. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a newly...
