Mobile Dysphagia Diagnostics

You don’t have x-ray vision. But we do. In fact, we have better. We bring our fancy camera to your rehab facility, anywhere in NY, NJ, or PA, perform a swallow study at the bedside, print out the report and leave it that day. Yes it’s as good as it sounds. We understand the challenges Speech-Language Pathologists face when they have to observe a patient eating, and then make life-altering recommendations without visual support. Research shows a 70% error rate at the bedside, where the recommendations are either too restrictive, jeopardizing nutrition and hydration, or silent aspiration is completely missed, which can lead to pneumonia. That’s a huge responsibility for an SLP without x-ray vision! We are able to view the patient’s swallow for 1/4 of the price of an MBSS done at a hospital, while in their natural position, consuming their favorite food, liquids, and actual medication, all while gaining valuable input from the nurses and family that interact with the patient on a daily basis. We strive to work closely with the patient, their family, the Speech-Language Pathologist, and nurses, to create a comprehensive patient-centered plan to ensure safe swallowing for the patient, and research based recommendations that the facility staff can feel confident implementing.
