Chin Dry TM技术帮助人们解决唾液问题 溢出(流口水)以清除自己不想要的唾液。在阶段中 I，研究人员确定Chin Dry TM是有效的 用户可以接受。此第二阶段应用程序的目的是 三个方面：a)完成原型研究和开发 Chin Dry TM技术及其配套技术燕子 频率装置(SFD)；b)将这些系统开发为制造 基于与研究对象的测试和生产级别准备情况 来自弗吉尼亚大学儿童医学中心和德克萨斯州大学的顾问 达拉斯苏格兰礼仪儿童医院，b)有一个 生产和销售Chin Dry TM的制造协议 系统。以及c)利用 下巴干燥TM和吞音频率装置。研究人员设计了中国人 Dry TM原型作为研究工具，供专业人员确定 不同行为、药理作用效果不同。和外科手术 技术和干预措施，并作为教人的培训工具 如何使用这项技术，以及如何更有效地吞咽。SFD 测量吞咽产生的声音信号的技术允许 临床医生知道一个人吞咽的质量和频率。 建议的商业应用： Chin Dry TM系统的商业应用意义深远 它既是流口水的人的实用工具，也是一项研究 专业人士的工具。凭借其模块化设计，将有两个 不同的制成品。Basis Chin Dry TM系统产品 供消费者日常使用，并可在 以个人为基础。针对以下专业人士的增强型Chin Dry TM系统 其他硬件以及诊断干预和培训软件 和材料。IHS Inc.估计，中国的潜在消费者 美国的Dry TM总数接近60万人，这还不包括专业人士 谁会买增强型。Chin Dry TM已经产生了很多 潜在的家庭健康制造商和分销商的兴趣 护理产品。

The Chin Dry TM technology helps people with the problem of saliva overflow (drooling) to clean themselves of unwanted saliva. During Phase I, researchers determined that the Chin Dry TM is effective and acceptable to users. The intent of this Phase II application is threefold: a) to finalize the prototype research and development of the Chin Dry TM technology and its companion technology, the Swallow Frequency Device (SFD); b) to develop these systems to manufacturing production level readiness based on testing with research subjects and consultants from Children's Medical Center, U. of Virginia, and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, b) to have a manufacturing agreement for production and sale of the Chin Dry TM system. and c) to conduct basic research on chronic drooling using the Chin Dry TM and Swallow Frequency Device. Researchers designed the Chin Dry TM prototype as a research tool for professionals to determine the effectiveness of different behavioral, pharmacological. and surgical techniques and interventions, and as a training tool for teaching people how to use the technology and how to swallow more effectively. The SFD technology, which measures sound signals produced by swallowing, allows clinicians to know the quality and frequency of a person's swallow. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The commercial application the Chin Dry TM System is far reaching since it is both a utilitarian tool for the person who drools and a research tool for professionals. With its modularized design, there will be two different manufactured products. The basic Chin Dry TM System product for daily use by the consumer with various modules bought on an individual basis. The enhanced Chin Dry TM System for professionals with additional hardware and diagnostic intervention and training software and materials. IHS Inc. estimates that possible consumers of the Chin Dry TM in the U.S. totals almost 600,000 not counting the professionals who would buy the enhanced model. The Chin Dry TM has generated a lot of interest from potential manufacturers and distributors of home health care products.
