Dysphagia Study Using Novel Microphone Device (NCT07251140)
Novel Acoustic Biopatch for the Investigation of Dysphagia
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to collect swallowing acoustics with a novel non-invasive wearable surface microphone device during routine work-up, videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), of patients with dysphagia (swallowing trouble). The collected microphone data will be analyzed to find the pattern of abnormal swallowing by machine learning algorithm.
