2025 Poster Session B
B69 - Sensor-Based Parameters for Cup Flow from Robotic Studies
Mentors: Donna Scarborough, Ph.D. and Michael Bailey-Van Kuren, Ph.D.
The goal of developing the transitional cup is to assist populations who experience dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, while drinking liquids. The transitional cup regulates the rate at which fluid is released from the lid opening. The collected data contributes to future improvements in the cup design to improve patients’ quality of life by promoting independence, encouraging safe swallowing, and adjusting to patients’ varying swallow patterns.
