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
