Title: | A Comprehensive Assessment Protocol for Swallowing (CAPS) : paving the way towards computer-aided dysphagia screening | Authors: | Lim, HJ Lai, DKH So, BPH Yip, CCK Cheung, DSK Cheung, JCW Wong, DWC |
Issue Date: | Feb-2023 | Source: | International journal of environmental research and public health, Feb. 2023, v. 20, no. 4, 2998 | Abstract: | Dysphagia is one of the most common problems among older adults, which might lead to aspiration pneumonia and eventual death. It calls for a feasible, reliable, and standardized screening or assessment method to prompt rehabilitation measures and mitigate the risks of dysphagia complications. Computer-aided screening using wearable technology could be the solution to the problem but is not clinically applicable because of the heterogeneity of assessment protocols. The aim of this paper is to formulate and unify a swallowing assessment protocol, named the Comprehensive Assessment Protocol for Swallowing (CAPS), by integrating existing protocols and standards. The protocol consists of two phases: the pre-test phase and the assessment phase. The pre-testing phase involves applying different texture or thickness levels of food/liquid and determining the required bolus volume for the subsequent assessment. The assessment phase involves dry (saliva) swallowing, wet swallowing of different food/liquid consistencies, and non-swallowing (e.g., yawning, coughing, speaking, etc.). The protocol is designed to train the swallowing/non-swallowing event classification that facilitates future long-term continuous monitoring and paves the way towards continuous dysphagia screening. | Keywords: | Computer-aided diagnosis Deglutition disorder Dysphagia Eating disorder Otorhinolaryngology Wearable technology |
