A Bioinspired Soft Swallowing Gripper for Universal Adaptable Grasping.

Soft robotics
This article presents the design, fabrication, modeling, and preliminary tests of a bloodworm-inspired soft gripper for universal grasping. The gripper was designed and fabricated based on a toy called water snake wiggly (WSW). The toroidal WSW can e...

Non-invasive identification of swallows via deep learning in high resolution cervical auscultation recordings.

Scientific reports
High resolution cervical auscultation is a very promising noninvasive method for dysphagia screening and aspiration detection, as it does not involve the use of harmful ionizing radiation approaches. Automatic extraction of swallowing events in cervi...

A Bioinspired Soft Swallowing Robot Based on Compliant Guiding Structure.

Soft robotics
From small unicellular organisms to large mammals, swallowing is an important way for them to interact with their external environment. The majority of these animals swallow their targets for the purpose of hunting, and some fish and amphibians prote...

Predicting the Swallow-Related Quality of Life of the Elderly Living in a Local Community Using Support Vector Machine.

International journal of environmental research and public health
This study developed a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm-based prediction model with considering influence factors associated with the swallowing quality-of-life as the predictor variables and provided baseline information for enhancing the swa...

Swall-E: A robotic in-vitro simulation of human swallowing.

PloS one
Swallowing is a complex physiological function that can be studied through medical imagery techniques such as videofluoroscopy (VFS), dynamic magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). VFS is the gold ...

Blood Sugar Level Indication Through Chewing and Swallowing from Acoustic MEMS Sensor and Deep Learning Algorithm for Diabetic Management.

Journal of medical systems
Diabetes, a metabolic disorder due to high blood glycemic index in the human body. The glycemic index varies in the human of improper diet and eating pattern such as junk foods, variation in the quantity of food, swallowing of food without chewing an...

Automatic detection of oral and pharyngeal phases in swallowing using classification algorithms and multichannel EMG.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
Swallowing is a complex process that involves sequential voluntary and involuntary muscle contractions. Malfunctioning of swallowing related muscles could lead to dysphagia. However, there is a lack of standardized and non-invasive methods that suppo...

Using Machine Learning and a Combination of Respiratory Flow, Laryngeal Motion, and Swallowing Sounds to Classify Safe and Unsafe Swallowing.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to develop a swallowing assessment method to help prevent aspiration pneumonia. The method uses simple sensors to monitor swallowing function during an individual's daily life.

Pathophysiology of swallowing following oropharyngeal surgery for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Neurogastroenterology and motility
BACKGROUND: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and coblation channeling of the tongue (CCT) are oropharyngeal surgeries used to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The extent to which UPPP and CCT affect pharyngeal swallow has not been determined. ...

A hybrid classifier based on nonlinear-PCA and deep belief networks with applications in dysphagia diagnosis.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Traditional dysphagia prescreening diagnostic methods require doctors specialists to give patients a total score based on a water swallow test scale. This method is limited by the high dimensionality of the diagnostic elements in the water swallow te...
