Development of Novel, Biophysically Designed Fluids for Swallowing Disorders

Summary

People suffering from swallowing disorders (dysphagia) have a hard time swallowing liquids that are too thin (like water or coffee) or too thick, correctly. They can have health problems, such as chest infections and malnutrition because when they try to drink, some of the liquid "goes down the wrong pipe" and into the lungs. To help people with dysphagia, Swallow Solutions is developing thickened liquids that have added nutrition, taste good, and quench thirst, but are still easy and safe to swallow.
