In this paper, we provide a viewpoint on how gamified health apps can enhance exercise adherence. Abstract Purpose: Delivery of swallowing therapy is faced with challenges regarding access to in-clinic services and adherence to prescribed home programs. Mobile...
We partnered with our collaborators in materials engineering to determine if the Mobili-T® hardware could be miniaturized even more. In this study, we evaluated a surface electromyography sensor that was as thin as a Band-Aid. This was tested in one healthy...
Our team created a way for the Mobili-T® to detect when a patient’s swallowing muscles contract. This is known as an automated swallow-detection algorithm. This algorithm makes sure that signals arising from swallow or swallow-like exercises are reinforced,...
Being able to comfortably attach the Mobili-T® under the chin was a primary concern for us. In this study, we tested several different adhesives to see how well they might stick to the skin. We also wanted to see which ones could be washed and re-used. View...
In this short paper, we presented some of our first ideas about the Mobili-T®. These ideas came from the clinical needs that were first identified by our team. Abstract Swallowing impairments, or dysphagia, can lead to serious health problems and psychosocial...
