Dysphagia, the term used to describe a swallowing difficulty, affects up to 30% of people over 65 years of age. Speech pathologists are responsible for diagnosing and managing dysphagia, however there is a shortfall between the number of clinicians available and the large number of individuals with this condition. The study aims to validate a way to assess dysphagia using telehealth, to increase access to speech pathology services particularly for patients in rural health settings.

吞咽困难，用于描述吞咽困难的术语，影响高达30%的65岁以上的人。言语病理学家负责诊断和管理吞咽困难，然而，可用的临床医生数量和大量患有这种疾病的个体之间存在短缺。该研究旨在验证一种使用远程医疗评估吞咽困难的方法，以增加获得言语病理学服务的机会，特别是对农村卫生机构的患者。
