Abstract

We have developed computerized biofeedback systems for treating dysphagic patients. These systems provide real time audiovisual feedback of patient performance. Key parameters extracted from the patient data are fed to a database system. The computerized biofeedback systems facilitate telemedical and teletherapy applications. Patent applications are being pursued
