Great patient/caregiver education tool

I use this app several times a week to provide patient and caregiver education after MBS studies. I find it especially helpful to have them watch the normal lateral view video and share their initial observations, followed by the example with aspiration and penetration. I usually begin by pointing out the anatomy before viewing and then reinforcing what their own eyes are teaching them about how swallow physiology works. This has saved so much time in education sessions and helps people understand what they’re seeing when I show them their own imaging. When I can point to something happening on the video and say “this is what I saw happening in your study,” it helps people understand that we’re focusing on a specific problem.

Audio would be helpful

Great tool, it’s just hard to narrate when you’re not the one controlling the pointer

Excellant for Education

I use this app on my phione to do a quick inservice to patients, families, nursing , CNA personel and Students in the field of Dysphagial. Every little inservice I do, the person/patient always states they have a greater underdstanding about normal swallow and the Dysphagia that they are experiencing, or what the individual patient with Dysphagia can drink or eatr, or to remain NPO.

Very helpful

I use this app at least weekly in my practice, I so appreciate the clarity of the visuals and love that you can single out specific areas of impairment. Helpful for patients and colleagues alike.

Not worth the money

This app has so much potential but it falls flat. There are only a handful of videos, which you can slow down and that part is helpful. However, for $13 I would expect a lot more videos. They are all animated, which again is good for learning, but it would be great if there were some real life videos. I’m really hoping they add more videos soon. Overall, pretty disappointing.
