Abstract: A swallowing medical device includes: an attachment unit configured to be attached to a target portion of a human body for a medical operation; a control unit configured to control the medical operation; and a storage configured to store use information regarding a use state over time of the attachment unit. The control unit executes a control for restricting use of the attachment unit on the basis of a fact that the use information does not satisfy a set condition for ensuring a characteristic of the attachment unit.

Abstract: A swallowing diagnosis apparatus includes a controller which enables a first swallowing determination process of determining whether or not there is an aspiration risk in the swallowing on the basis of respiratory phases before and after a period in which swallowing has been estimated as having occurred; and a second swallowing determination process of extracting reference information including at least one of the sound information and the respiration information in a predetermined period including the period in which swallowing has been estimated as having occurred, obtaining a feature quantity from the extracted reference information, and performing a machine learning process on the obtained feature quantity to determine whether or not there is a possibility of dysphagia in the swallowing; and a display control process of causing a determination result obtained by the first swallowing determination process and a determination result obtained by the second swallowing determination process to be displayed.

Abstract: A dysphagia treatment device includes: a current application unit configured to be attached to a target portion of a treated person in order to percutaneously apply current to a biological tissue of the neck including superior laryngeal nerve of the treated person; a control unit configured to control the current application unit such that percutaneous stimulation caused by an interference wave or a pseudo interference wave is applied to the biological tissue of the neck including the superior laryngeal nerve; an operation unit configured to adjust the current to be applied by the current application unit, to a sensory threshold at which the treated person becomes aware of the percutaneous stimulation; and a display unit configured to display index information based on the sensory threshold.

Abstract: This swallowing training apparatus includes: a respiration detection part configured to detect a respiratory motion of a subject; and a controller. The controller is configured to: provide a trigger for swallowing induction to the subject on the basis of a detection result from the respiration detection part; detect that swallowing was performed by the subject; determine whether or not the detected swallowing was at an appropriate timing with respect to the respiratory motion; and output, to outside, information indicating a result of the determination.
