phagifit – Therapy-Supporting App for Dysphagia Treatment

What is phagifit?

phagifit is an app for people with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). It is used jointly by the patient and therapist (speech-language pathologist/speech therapist) alongside traditional in-person therapy. phagifit aims to promote self-training for people with dysphagia and support therapists in providing individually tailored exercise content.

features of phagifit

For patients:

• INDIVIDUALIZED VIDEO TUTORIALS: Your treating therapist can regularly unlock exercise videos tailored specifically to you. These videos support you in performing functional muscle exercises, applying specific swallowing techniques, and making postural adjustments.

• EXERCISE REMINDER: Optional automatic daily exercise reminder via push notification

• DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS: Receive personalized recommendations from your therapist on adjusting the consistency of food and liquids to ensure safe swallowing.

• SWALLOWING REMINDER: Use a digital reminder to swallow regularly if you have difficulty managing saliva.

• BACKGROUND INFORMATION: You and your family members receive practical background information and tips for managing swallowing difficulties in everyday life.

Why should you, as a patient, use phagifit?

• EFFECTIVENESS: Studies show that regular training can improve swallowing function.

• FLEXIBILITY: Train whenever and wherever you want, even outside of scheduled speech therapy sessions.

• SELF-EFFECTIVENESS: Actively contribute to your rehabilitation success.

• KNOWLEDGE: Sound background knowledge about the symptoms and treatment options for swallowing disorders can promote the rehabilitation process and make it easier to manage dysphagia in everyday life.

For therapists:

• EXERCISE DATABASE: Regularly unlock exercise videos tailored to your patients from the extensive database. The videos include restorative (functional muscle exercises) and compensatory (swallowing techniques and postural changes) measures. You can also unlock adaptive measures

(dietary recommendations) for your patients.

• PRACTICE ORGANIZATION: Reduce the organizational and copying effort involved in compiling and sending individually tailored therapy homework and information to your patients.

• THERAPY DESIGN: Gain high-quality professional input and methodological confidence for your own therapy design through the comprehensive exercise and knowledge database.
