Core 77 award

Written by Gabi Constantinescu

Gabi is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Alberta. She is also the CPO for True Angle. Her doctoral work directly influenced the design and development of the Mobili-T®, a mobile therapy system for swallowing exercise.

Mobili-T® is a portable swallowing therapy system for individuals with swallowing disorders, with particular focus on head and neck cancer. Individuals with a swallowing impairment are often unable to consume a normal diet, which can lead to dependence on tube feeding. This alteration in eating can impact social interactions, and dismantle overall quality of life.
