Dysphagia App Reviews

This app is ideal for the education of patients, families and staff. The ability to show the normal swallow and then show the disordered swallow at a slower rate and pause is an asset to my education process. I hope that NSS and the MBSImP teams continue to develop this app.

Great app! Would be helpful to provide descriptions for phases, etc. This app includes the "normal swallow" app so no need to purchase both.

As an SLP, I have mainly used my iPad for the pediatric clinic work that I do. But when I saw this app I realized my adult home health clients would benefit from this. I have used it with all my adult dysphagia clients. The feedback that I'm getting from both patients and caregivers is that they appreciate the teaching ...showing them what a swallow looks like and what aspiration really means. So glad I bought this app.

I use this for dysphasia patients before and after they go for a modified barium swallow study. Imagine trying to explain how the epiglottis works and it's function in swallowing. With this app you can show them and they understand this immediately it is clearer than the actual VF and this should be a required tool for all grad students. This is my favorite and most used app.

Great app for illustrating the swallow as seen during the VFSS. But it'd be an even better app if the structures were labeled.

Fantastic app that has facilitated educating both my resident/client and their family members. It also helped when I provided nurses, CNA's etc an inservice on dysphagia. Great purchase for any SLP!

I use this app just about every day with my home care patients to help them understand what's going on when they swallow. The graphics are great and having the ability to adjust the speed and pause the animation is crucial. It's one of my most frequently used apps and I recommend it to all my colleagues!

This app is great for educating patients and caregivers, thank you, I think it would be helpful to have a screen that labels the anatomy. I can point things out, but having it all on one page would be helpful. Thanks!

I’ve been using this app for years and still enjoy it. It provides so much info to my patients and their families on what I look for and how the swallow works. It provides great photos and a slow motion ability to help them understand all the structures involved in a safe swallow.

I use this app at least weekly in my practice, I so appreciate the clarity of the visuals and love that you can single out specific areas of impairment. Helpful for patients and colleagues alike.

I use this app on my phione to do a quick inservice to patients, families, nursing , CNA personel and Students in the field of Dysphagial. Every little inservice I do, the person/patient always states they have a greater underdstanding about normal swallow and the Dysphagia that they are experiencing, or what the individual patient with Dysphagia can drink or eatr, or to remain NPO.

Great tool, it’s just hard to narrate when you’re not the one controlling the pointer
