Biometric Vibration Signal Detection Devices for Swallowing Activity Monitoring

초록

Swallowing is a complex neuromuscular activity regulated by the autonomic central nervous system, and impairment can lead to dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing. This research presents a novel approach that utilizes wireless, wearable technology for the continuous mechano-acoustic tracking of respiratory activities and swallowing. To address the challenge of accurately tracking swallowing amidst potential confounding activities or significant body movements, we employ two accelerometers. These accelerometers help distinguish between genuine swallowing events and other activities. By monitoring movements and vibrations through the skin surface, the developed device enables non-intrusive monitoring of swallowing dynamics and respiratory patterns. Our focus is on the development of both the wireless skin-interfaced device and an advanced algorithm capable of detecting swallowing dynamics in conjunction with respiratory phases. The device and algorithm demonstrate robustness in detecting respiratory patterns and swallowing instances, even in scenarios where users exhibit periodic movements due to disease or daily activities. Furthermore, peak detection using an adaptive threshold automatically adjusts to an individual’s signal strength, facilitating the detection of swallowing signals without the need for individual adjustments. This innovation has significant potential for enhancing patient training and rehabilitation programs aimed at addressing dysphagia and related respiratory issues.
