接受胃切除术的胃癌患者由于胃功能下降而面临营养不良的高风险。为了防止营养不良，患者需要将一口食物彻底咀嚼至少30次。对于这些需要饮食支持的胃切除患者，我们开发了一种使用耳机式传感器的咀嚼计数测量设备，名为earable RCC。评估该设备性能的实验是在六名参加“口香糖咀嚼测试”和“吃杏仁测试”的健康志愿者身上进行的。结果计算的精度≥0.958，表明耳机式咀嚼计数测量装置可以通过实验区分咀嚼和其他动作。此外，测试结果计算出的召回率≥0.937，表明该设备不会遗漏咀嚼动作，并且能够在咀嚼时机高概率地准确计算咀嚼次数。实验结果还意味着耳机型传感器可用于测量吞咽、咬合力和舌头运动。我们未来的计划包括对耳机式咀嚼计数测量装置进行临床测试，以确定其在接受胃切除术的患者中的实用性。我们还打算扩大该设备在其他患者中的应用，以帮助预防痴呆症和饮食支持。
Gastric cancer patients having undergone gastrectomy are at a high risk of becoming malnourished owing to decreased gastric function. To prevent malnutrition, patients need to thoroughly chew a mouthful of food at least 30 times. For these gastrectomy patients requiring dietary support, we developed a chewing-count measurement device named earable RCC using an earphone-type sensor. Experiments to evaluate the performance of this device were conducted on six healthy volunteers who participated in “gum-chewing tests” and “almond-eating tests.” The precision calculated based on the results was ≥0.958, indicating that the earphone-type chewing-count measurement device could experimentally distinguish chewing from other actions. In addition, the recall calculated from the test results was ≥0.937, showing that the device does not miss chewing actions and can accurately count the number of chews with high probability at the timing of chewing. The experimental results also imply that earphone-type sensors may be used to measure swallowing, occlusal force, and tongue motion. Our future plans include clinical testing of the earphone-type chewing-count measurement device to determine its utility in patients who have undergone gastrectomy. We also intend to expand the application of this device for use in other patients to aid in dementia prevention and dietary support.
