Non-Invasive Swallowing Monitoring Device
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
This project aims to develop a non-invasive monitoring approach using wearable devices, with validation against high-resolution impedance manometry. We plan to recruit 20 healthy participants aged 20-50 years and 20 patients with dysphagia. Patients will first undergo swallowing endoscopy to assess their swallowing status. Electromagnetic near-field coupling technology will then be applied to collect muscle contraction data during swallowing. A wearable sensor attached to the neck will provide detailed dynamic data on swallowing muscle activity to support clinical applications. Validation will be performed using high-resolution impedance manometry. In addition, anthropometric measurements, biochemical tests, and swallowing-related questionnaires will be collected. Statistical analysis will be used to examine correlations between measurement modalities and validate the effectiveness of the developed wearable technology.
