3D Printed Food for People with Swallowing Disability

该项目旨在确定3D食品打印（在喷墨打印机等设备中使用真实的食品的增材制造）可用于改善占世界人口约8%的吞咽困难人群的果泥餐的视觉吸引力。这项研究将是第一个包括吞咽障碍的人（例如，与脑瘫，中风，老年人有关）及其支持者，研究利益相关者对3D食品打印对生活质量，享受，参与和安全的影响的看法和经验。成果包括对影响残疾人和老年人护理服务中实施3D食品打印的因素的新知识，为政策，实践和未来的研究提供信息。

This project aims to identify ways that 3D food printing (additive manufacturing using real food in a device like a ink-jet printer) could be used to improve the visual appeal of puree meals for people with swallowing difficulty, who make up ~8% of the world's population. This study will be the first to include people with swallowing disability (e.g., related to cerebral palsy, stroke, older age) and their supporters in examining the views and experiences of stakeholders on the impact of 3D food printing on quality of life, enjoyment, participation, and safety. Outcomes include new knowledge on factors affecting the implementation of 3D food printing in disability and aged care services, to inform policy, practice, and future research.
