Our project for the capstone class is a device to facilitate tongue strengthening exercises to help people who suffer from dysphagia. The design is a modification of a previous device that is currently used in clinical settings to give feedback to patients during their tongue exercises. The device needs to be usable by the patients in their homes. Our final design is a two part, wireless system, including an oral apparatus that senses the pressure exerted by the tongue on the palate of the mouth, and a second apparatus that displays the information in a simple, comprehensible manner.
