| Abstract | The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a wearable technology for dysphagia monitoring. Dysphagia is a healthcare condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing food or liquid. Current dysphagia management involves invasive, uncomfortable, and costly procedures, reaching only a fraction of the 9.5 million affected individuals in the U.S. annually. The proposed technology is a knitted fabric sensing collar offering non-invasive, continuous monito |
