Stick-On patch hears swallowing trouble after stroke

NCT ID NCT07251140

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new wearable patch that uses a microphone to listen to swallowing sounds in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. The patch is placed on the neck and records sounds during a standard swallowing X-ray test. Researchers will use machine learning to find patterns that could help diagnose swallowing problems more easily.

Microphone device (wearable acoustic biopatch)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive way to screen for swallowing problems after a stroke.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study focused on collecting data, not testing a treatment. The device may not reliably detect swallowing issues in all patients.
