It is important to provide information to help prevent loss of
swallowing function in seniors as well as help in early treatment for
rehabilitation.
We developed a throat microphone measurement system to measure
swallowing frequency automatically that is portable and capable of
prolonged operation. This system consist of a throat microphone and throat sound wave form analysis. The throat sound wave form analysis is capable of detecting the swallowing sound with 86%. The microphone enables us to measure the frequency of swallowing without restricting subjects, hence we could collect significant data on swallowing frequency in various aspects of daily life. |
