About this app

Gulp !, the app created by speech therapists for speech therapists: exclusive, simple and effective!

If you are also a speech therapist who deals with myofunctional treatment, you will know how patient compliance is important in this type of therapy. For this we offer you a tool that will make your job more appealing in the eyes of your patients: Gulp !, the only Italian speech therapy app created to support the therapy orofacial muscle imbalance and deviant swallowing.

The new Gulp! It is structured into four sections:
Speech therapist, the app part dedicated to the professional. The app is not intended to replace the direct treatment, in fact it is only after careful evaluation by an experienced speech therapist that you can draw up a specific treatment plan for the individual patient. "Gulp!" Helps the clinician to personalize the treatment program, giving it the opportunity to choose from more than 200 exercises, the ones best suited to the patient, and select the number of repetitions for each exercise.
To facilitate the search / selection of exercises, we have divided them into five main categories: breathing, muscle gymnastics, swallowing, articulation and generalization. The categories can be further divided into subcategories and exercises grouped according to their purpose (eg muscle gymnastics à lips a tone both lips).
MY PROGRAM, the app confidential part of the patient. The patient will always have a list of selected exercises from his speech therapist, with the number of repetitions, the written description and explanatory video.
The patient will also be able to use the alarm clock, which allows you to set the text and the reminder time that, through a notification will remind you to perform the exercises.
LANGUAGE, the part of the app designed for the self-awareness of the lingual posture. With this feature, the patient can, with a simple click, indicate whether the lingual position is correct or incorrect. The speech therapist, in session, will display the exact day that was compiled and statistics on the implementation of the year.
INFO, the part of the app that contains general information GULP! and app tutorial.
