Mobile app for safe eating in older adults with swallowing problems
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a mobile app that helps older adults with swallowing problems choose foods that are safe to eat, based on food texture. The app may help you avoid choking and make eating easier and safer.
