What is RehaIngest?
RehaIngest is a portable system for measuring and visualization of laryngeal activity during swallowing. It supports diagnostics in patients with dysphagia, particularly after stroke, traumatic brain injury, cervical spinal cord injury and tumor diseases.
RehaIngest is the first system which combines the measurement of electromyography (EMG) and bioimpedance (BI) to provide valuable information about swallowing. The medical device consists of a tablet computer with the RehaIngest software, measuring module, cables and the adhesive measuring electrodes.
How it works
RehaIngest measures bioimpedance (BI) and electromyography (EMG) at the throat for swallowing detection. The results can be used to support diagnostics, therapy and monitoring patients with swallowing disorders.
Benefits
Realtime swallowing detection provides direct performance feedback. Already during the therapy even the smallest therapeutic progress becomes visible to patients and therapists without using costly equipment.
Research
RehaIngest delivers objective information of swallowing and can provide extended evidence of swallowing disorders. Feel free to contact us if you are interested to use RehaIngest as part of your scientific project.
